They say ancient viruses frozen in the Arctic permafrost may one day return due to warming and increased shipping, causing an outbreak of unknown diseases.
Scientists have warned that global warming and melting glaciers could cause a new pandemic in the Arctic due to strains of zombie viruses or Methuselah microbes that have been frozen in the permafrost, The Guardian reported.
The development of a monitoring network in the Arctic has already begun to identify early cases of diseases caused by the ancient viruses. Experts plan to create a system of quarantine and provision of qualified medical care for infected people to prevent the spread and transfer of the disease outside the region.
