Fact vs. myth: Coronavirus
事实与神秘:冠状病毒
MYTH: The coronavirus is new.
神秘:冠状病毒是新的。
FACTS: While this strain of virus — 2019-nCoV — is new, it comes from an ancient
family of coronaviruses that were first identified in the 1960s. Their name comes from
the crown-like projections on their surface and is derived from “corona,” the Latin
term for “halo,” or “crown.”
事实:虽然这一病毒株——2019 nCoV——是新病毒,但它来自于上世纪 60 年
代首次发现的一个古老的冠状病毒家族,它们的名字来自其表面的树冠状突起,
源自“corona”,拉丁语中的“halo”或“crown”。

FACTS: When a video shared on TikTok showed a Chinese woman chowing down a
bowl of bat soup went viral, it sparked outrage online about whether Asian diets are to
blame for the 2019-nCoV jump to humans. Wang Mengyun, the Chinese internet
vlogger who filmed herself in 2016 eating bat soup in Palau, ended up apologizing for
the video and defending herself against death threats. Mengyun clarified in her
apology that she ate a fruit bat in the video, which is a local delicacy in Palau. Other
kinds of bats are popular in African, Asian and other Pacific Rim countries and
cultures, including Guam.

The Next Coronavirus Nightmare Is Closer Than You Think
Climate change makes the risk of novel diseases much more explosive.
Bryn Nelson
7
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
Even as officials around the world are scrambling to control a new and increasingly
deadly coronavirus outbreak, public health and infectious disease experts are
sounding the alarm about climate change making the risk of other novel afflictions
much more explosive.
“We can’t just keep closing down markets and disinfecting,” said Christine K.
Johnson, professor of epidemiology and ecosystem health at the University of
California at Davis. “We need to work in a more proactive way.”
The market grabbing global headlines in recent weeks was a major seafood distributor
in Wuhan, China, epicenter of the deadly outbreak that by Tuesday had killed more
than 100 and sickened roughly 4,700 in 16 countries, including at least five cases in
the United States. But even before this latest crisis, a major effort called PREDICT
funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had, over 10
years, uncovered nearly 1,000 new animal-borne viruses of concern in Asia and
Africa alone. Johnson said the project looked specifically for viruses that belong to
families with known human pathogens like the deadly Ebola and Nipah viruses.
She noted the tally counted 92 coronaviruses, the family that includes SARS, MERS,
and the new Wuhan coronavirus. The latter virus has been tentatively linked to
horseshoe bats, perhaps via intermediate animals like snakes that were sold at the
now-shuttered market where the disease likely jumped to humans.
Global surveillance efforts may need to look elsewhere for support, however. While
some components of the PREDICT program were expected to continue,
USAID discontinued its funding for the core surveillance and pandemic prevention
work at the close of 2019. In other words, the infrastructure put in place to keep tabs
on future pandemics is being slashed even as this new scare gains traction.
8
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Increasingly close contact,
in turn, significantly raises the risk that an animal disease will spill over into humans.
In the 1998-1999 Nipah virus outbreak in Malaysia that killed more than 100 people,
for example, researchers concluded that fruit bats dislodged by forest fires and an El
Niño-related drought began feeding on fruit trees grown on the same farms as pigs.
The close proximity allowed the virus to jump from bats to pigs to farmers.
Fair said stressed animals, whether due to displacement or confinement in live animal
markets, are more susceptible to disease. “When you’re stressed, you’re
immunocompromised, and therefore you shed more virus,” she said. This “super-
shedder” effect, as it’s known, can further increase the danger of a spillover event.
The risk of pathogens emerging due to climate change isn’t limited to the tropics,
either.
Beyond live animal markets, Mores explained, humans have unwittingly launched
dangerous experiments in places like southern Florida by mixing native animals and
abandoned exotic pets in an increasingly steamy subtropical swamp.
“We have a real witches’ brew of animalia there being exposed to each other in a
pretty good environment for a number of different pathogens,” he said. “They become
mixing bowls there, much like how we see the development of new influenza viruses
coming out of the mixing of wild birds and poultry and swine.” A virus that can
repeatedly cross between animal species, he added, “is what leads to the potential for
something new, like this coronavirus popping out at us.”
Global warming may be fueling yet another danger that has so far received little
attention, according to Arturo Casadevall, a professor of molecular microbiology and
immunology at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore. The relatively
high temperature of the human body, Casadevall said, protects us from fungi and
other pathogens that are devastating to cold-blooded amphibians and reptiles—as well
as mammals like bats that lower their temperatures when they hibernate.
He and other researchers, though, are already finding evidence that some pathogens
normally seen only at lower temperatures are adapting to warmer conditions. Last
year, Casadevall and colleagues reported that human infections caused by the drug-
resistant fungal species Candida auris cropped up independently on three continents.
The only commonality, higher temperatures, suggested that the fungus wasadapting to
9
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
a hotter world. “You could lose your heat defense if the microbes learn to grow at
higher temperatures,” Casadevall said. “That is a different level of threat that, up until
now, has not been part of the story.”
Amid the mounting danger, the detective work suggests how disease surveillance
might help protect human health. As part of PREDICT, for example, a study
published Friday in the journal Nature Communicationsdescribed how researchers
found a new pool of Marburg virus—a close relative of Ebola—in bats in Sierra
Leone. The discovery allowed them to warn nearby communities of the potential
danger.
Likewise, Fair and colleagues have reported that mosquitoes that can infect both
humans and animals with diseases like chikungunya, dengue, and malaria are
advancing northward and shedding more viral particles with warmer temperatures.
Her team’s complex models that account for changes in climate, habitat, and disease
epidemiology, she said, may help predict where certain diseases appear next year, or
in 30 years.
Although the science needed to characterize new outbreaks has progressed rapidly,
experts say sustained followup in determining the root causes will be critical to
avoiding future pandemics. “Where we fail universally is in the aftermath,” Mores
said. “So once we’ve put it back in its box, we rarely do the appropriate amount of
soul-searching and autopsy on this to say, ‘How do we stop this from happening
again?’”(1228)

Earth - Ten shocking animal diseases that may threaten species
25
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
It's not just humans that have to deal with epidemics. Wild animals must face a host
of diseases, from Ebola to cancer and even the plague
By Shreya Dasgupta
27 March 2015
It's not just humans that have to deal with epidemics. Disease
outbreaks can kill thousands of animals very quickly. They hit
especially hard if the animals are rare, threatened or fragmented
species.
Over the last few decades many new animal diseases have emerged,
and older diseases have spread to new areas. "Part of this is due to
increased trade and travel, which brings pathogens to new regions,"
says A. Marm Kilpatrick of the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Diseases are also being passed back and forth between humans,
livestock and wild animals.
Here are ten diseases that are taking a heavy toll on wild animals.
We'll start with a famous one.

1. Ebola
The ebola virus strikes both species hard. It kills about 95% of those
it infects, by causing severe fever and bleeding.

Mattison/Alamy)
2. Chytridiomycosis
A deadly fungus called "chytrid" has spelt doom for many frogs and
salamanders. Over the last 30 years, it has sent more than 200
amphibian species into catastrophic declines, and in some cases
driven them to extinction.
But chytrid was not always the deadly killer it is today. For over 100
years, it coexisted harmlessly with amphibians in some places, such
as Illinois and Korea.
Also, not all frogs infected with the fungus become sick or die. Some,
like American bullfrogs and African clawed frogs, seem to be
resistant. These species have been blamed for the spread of the
disease, although Kilpatrick points out that the amphibian trade has
also played a role.

29
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
only found on California's Santa Cruz Island. Vaccines for other birds
are also being tested.
4. White-nose syndrome
Nearly 6 million bats have been killed, and numbers of some species
– like the northern long eared bat – have declined by 99% in the
north-east. "White-nose syndrome is dramatically changing the bat
populations of North America," says Kock.
The fungus might have come from Europe, where it does not appear
to harm the bats it colonises. Restricting human access to caves, and
protecting their habitats, may help the bats.
30
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
5. Anthrax
Anthrax is best known for its use as a weapon of bioterrorism. But the
disease is an ancient scourge of wildlife. It mostly affects herbivores,
but anthrax can cause outbreaks in other mammals, including
some carnivores, great apes and humans.

African wild dogs are among distemper's many victims (Credit: Steve Bloom
Images/Alamy)
A domestic dog virus is wiping out wild carnivores around the world.
The virus, closely related to the human measles virus, attacks the
animals' respiratory, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems.
Vaccinating domestic dogs against the virus can sometimes halt the
spread of the disease. But it may not be enough as other animals can
also spread it. Vaccinating the vulnerable wild carnivores might be
the solution.
33
菁准考英语:高考英语外刊原创 20200206
8. Chlamydia
These two diseases, along with the destruction of their habitats and
the threat from other animals, are pushing koalas towards extinction.
But a vaccine, which has been successfully tested, offers some hope.
