Viral zoonoses - Coggle Diagram
Viral zoonoses
Virus origins
Classical hypotheses
Virus-first hypothesis
Existed before cells first appeared on earth
Regressive / Reduction hypothesis
Evolved from free-living cellular organisms
Became simplified over time
Capsids
Progressive / Escape hypothesis
Originated from genetic elements
"Escaped" from cells
Chimeric-origins hypothesis (Modern)
Mixture of theories
Integrates multiple evolutionary patterns
Does not support only a single origin theory
Description
Virus-first
Viral replication modules descended from primordial pre-cellular replicators
Restriction / Capsids
Genes encoding structural proteins
Escape / Reduction
Independently acquired capsids from host cells through evolution
Pathogen discovery
Pre-genomics era
Virus culture / isolation
Animal experimentation
Electron microscopy
Antigen detection
Genomics era
(RT)-PCR
Whole genome sequencing
Metagenomics
Microarray
Transmission
Direct
Rabies
Contact with infected wildlife or human-human
Ebola
Contact with infected wildlife or human-human transmission
Monkeypox
Direct contact with the infected animal
Indirect
Hantavirus
Inhalation of aerosolized rodent droppings
