Bat lands worldwide are besieged, seeding risk of a new pandemic
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +16 min
This collision – bats and humans competing for resources on territory long the domain of the bats – could trigger the next pandemic. As people destroy bat habitats worldwide, they are unwittingly helping bat-borne viruses mutate, multiply, and infect other species, including homo sapiens. For millennia, bat viruses lurked across the forests of West Africa and in other undisturbed parts of the world but posed little threat to humanity. They’re potent proliferators: Some roost tightly together and in close quarters with other bat species. Each of the bat viruses analyzed by Reuters has epidemic potential, according to the World Health Organization.
În Danemarca, unul dintre cei mai mari exportatori din lume de blană de nurcă, există cel puțin 15 milioane de nurci. Anunțul privind uciderea nurcilor din ferme a fost făcut miercuri de prim-ministrul Mette Frederiksen, care a susținut că forțele armate vor fi implicate în sacrificarea animalelor. Agenția de sănătate a menționat că Danemarca investighează în prezent importanța epidemiologică și virologică a acestor rezultate și va distruge comunitatea de nurci. Emma Hodcroft, geneticiană la Universitatea din Basel, Elveția, care monitorizează răspândirea noului coronavirus, a sfătuit publicul „să nu intre în panică”. În Danemarca, guvernul a identificat o variantă a virusului care s-a răspândit de la nurci la oameni.
