a Taxonomy of all 126 viruses identified in this study. The count of viruses in each family are labeled with red font. The count of new and known viruses are labeled with white and black font, respectively. b The 40 viral species with human pathogenicity (n = 6) and spillover risk (n = 34) from ten viral families and unclassified Riboviria identified in this study, with each family represented by a distinct color. The viruses that could not be assigned to any known families are shown in shades of orange. c Human pathogenic viruses (in red circle) and spillover-risk viruses (in blue circle) in relate to five shrew species. The number of libraries where each virus was detected were represented by different colors. d The discovery year of human pathogenic viruses and spillover-risk viruses was determined based on the year of detection or infection, rather than the publication year. In case where a range of detection years existed, we considered the earliest year. The source of the image was retrieved from Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page).
