Mitigating Biosecurity Challenges of Wildlife Virus Discovery

2022-02-17

Abstract excerpt

The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked renewed calls for wildlife virus discovery efforts to predict emerging zoonotic diseases. In this Perspective, we highlight safety and security risks associated with large-scale viral collection and characterisation efforts. We present risk mitigation strategies and argue for more emphasis on cost-benefit comparison between different approaches. Accidents may be minimised by devel...
