Chinese scientists have discovered lurking on a tropical island previously unknown to mankind viruses and warned that they can infect humans. About it writes Daily Mail.
Researchers tasked with preparing the world for the coming pandemic took about 700 samples from rodents living in Hainan, a region on China's southern coast, the report said.
The Chinese government-funded project discovered eight new viruses, including one belonging to the same family as Covid.
Experts said the pathogens discovered had a "high probability" of infecting humans if they managed to cross the species barrier.
They called for further experimentation with the viruses to determine exactly what their effects on humans might be.
