Fig. 6: Cross-species transmission of viruses.
From: Decoding the RNA viromes in shrew lungs along the eastern coast of China
a The cross-species pattern of 54 known viruses is depicted based on a combination of our data and the virus records from the NCBI database. Green cycles indicate viruses which were identified in shrew for the first time. Red and blue cycles represent viruses with human pathogenicity and spillover-risk identified in this study, respectively. Green triangles and red triangles denote enveloped viruses and non-enveloped viruses, respectively. Two DNA viruses are marked with an asterisk (*). b A host network map illustrating connections among different orders of vector/host through shared 54 known viruses in this study. The number of shared viruses by each vector/host group is indicated within bracket. Mammalia, aves, insecta and other invertebrates are shaded in red, green, and blue, respectively. c Virus transmission among shrews for 72 new viruses identified in this study is shown. Host range was determined solely based on the host species information obtained during the current research. The cross-species transmitted new viruses are labeled using red font. d Venn diagrams illustrating the number of cross-species transmitted new viruses out of the 72 identified in this study. The count of cross-species transmitted new viruses is marked using blue font. The source of the image was retrieved from Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page).
