Dream - Scientists warn of a new deadly pandemic threat after the discovery of the 'Zombie' virus in the Arctic, Siberia. The ancient virus that has been frozen in the Arctic ice layers can eventually thaw and be released due to global warming, triggering a major disease outbreak.
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "Strain of Methuselah microbe or also called 'zombie' virus has been isolated by researchers. They are worried that a global medical emergency could be triggered not by new diseases, but by diseases that have already existed in the past. Scientists have even started planning a monitoring network in the Arctic ice layers that will accurately indicate early cases of diseases caused by these ancient microorganisms."
In addition, this country will also provide quarantine and medical care for infected individuals in an effort to contain the outbreak and prevent infected individuals from leaving the area.
"Currently, pandemic threat analysis focuses on diseases that may emerge in the southern region and then spread to the north," said geneticist Jean-Michel Claverie from Aix-Marseille University, as quoted from The Guardian. "Conversely, little attention is given to outbreaks that may emerge in the northern tip and then spread to the south. There are viruses out there that have the potential to infect humans and trigger new disease outbreaks," he added."
This is also supported by virologist Marion Koopmans from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. "We don't know what viruses are present in the ice layers, but I think there is a real risk that there may be viruses that can trigger disease outbreaks - for example, polio that has been around since ancient times. We have to assume that something like this could happen," she continued.
"In 2014, Claverie led a research team of scientists who isolated a live virus in Siberia. The research results showed that the virus can still infect single-celled organisms even after being buried in ice for thousands of years. Further research revealed the existence of several different types of viruses from seven different locations in Siberia. The research findings also showed that this virus can infect cultured cells. One virus sample was 48,500 years old."
"The virus we isolated is only capable of infecting amoebas and does not pose a risk to humans," said Claverie."
"However, this does not mean that other viruses, which are currently frozen in the ice layers, cannot trigger diseases in humans. We have identified traces of poxvirus and herpes virus genomes, which are well-known human pathogens," he said. Furthermore, scientists believe that the ice layers at its deepest level likely contain viruses that are one million years old or older than the human species, estimated to have emerged around 300,000 years ago."
"The immune system of our body may have never come into contact with some of these microbes, and that is another concern," said Claverie. "The scenario of an unknown virus that once infected Neanderthals will attack us again, although it is unlikely to happen, has become a real possibility," he added.
