Wetland virus

Wetland virus

Wetland viruses refer to viral pathogens that thrive in wetland ecosystems, impacting both wildlife and human health. These viruses can be transmitted through various vectors, such as insects or waterfowl, and can affect a range of hosts, including fish, amphibians, and mammals. The diversity of wetland habitats provides unique conditions for viral replication and spread, leading to outbreaks that can disrupt local ecosystems. Understanding these viruses is crucial for conservation efforts and public health, as wetlands play a significant role in biodiversity and water quality. Research on wetland viruses helps to inform strategies for disease prevention and ecosystem management.
