Similar approaches could be used to assess the potential of human emergence and pathogenicity <https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/pathogenicity> for other viruses. *Click on the link for the rest.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
