“…MERS has evolved towards decreased pathogenicity, trying to survive longer in the population. The increase in pathogenicity is not favorable in the context of evolution [Domingo, 2019] . However, the less negative Gibbs energy of growth can lead to slow virus multiplication.…”

“…This means that Gibbs energy of growth is the driving force of microbial growth [ Von Stockar, 2013a , 2013b ]. Mutations occur during virus multiplication [ Sanjuán and Domingo-Calap, 2016 ; Cann, 2012 ; Domingo, 2019 , Peck et al, 2018 ]. RNA viruses mutate faster than DNA viruses, single-stranded viruses mutate faster than double-strand viruses [Sanjuán and Domingo-Calap, 2016] .…”

“…Theory of evolution predicts that an organism evolves towards better adaptation to its environment. In case of coronaviruses, this would mean that evolution would progress towards greater infectivity and decrease in pathogenicity [Domingo, 2019] . In practice, Figure 1 shows that SARS-CoV-2 has evolved towards more negative Gibbs energy of binding, leading to increase in binding rate and greater infectivity.…”

“…The above findings suggest that the A238L gene can be used as a supplement for p72-based phylogenetic analysis. The observed differences in clustering patterns, especially with single genes, could be due to a variety of factors, including evolutionary processes that result in evolution of viral genome [27].…”

African swine fever (ASF) was first reported in 1921, and since then has posed a major threat to the world pig industry and still remains a major challenge as there is no vaccine or therapy available. In May 2020, the first incidence of ASF was recorded in India, followed by a number of outbreaks in the north eastern part of India. In this study, we report the first whole genome of an Indian isolate of ASF virus (ASF/IND/20/CAD/543) using next generation sequencing and compared with the other ASFV complete genome. On phylogenetic analysis, the virus was assigned to genotype II on the basis of p72 genotyping. However, the whole genome based phylogeny distinguished it from other genotype II isolates of clade 1.1.1. This study adds to our understanding of ASFV's genetic diversity and molecular evolution.

“…Bird flu is also a disease that can spread within wildlife populations through the global poultry trade, wild bird migration and the illegal pet trade (Radin et al 2017). Spillover effects may depend on the characteristics of the pathogens, and emerging pathogens require critical mutations to maximize success in new host species (Zhu et al 2019;Bonneaud & Longdon 2020), and pathogens from a wide range of hosts may have "ready-made" or pre-existing adaptations that enable them to infect and spread among different host species and are more likely to cause zoonotic infections (Pepin et al 2010;Domingo 2020). Complex host, environmental, and pathogen relationships ultimately determine spillover risks (Horby et al 2014;Plowright et al 2017).…”

Effect of epidemic diseases on wild animal conservation

Under the background of global species extinction, the impact of epidemic diseases on wild animal protection is increasingly prominent. Here, we review and synthesize the literature on this topic, and discuss the relationship between diseases and biodiversity. Diseases usually reduce species diversity by decreasing or extinction of species populations, but also accelerate species evolution and promote species diversity. At the same time, species diversity can regulate disease outbreaks through dilution or amplification effects. The synergistic effect of human activities and global change is emphasized, which further aggravates the complex relationship between biodiversity and diseases. Finally, we emphasize the importance of active surveillance of wild animal diseases, which can protect wild animals from potential diseases, maintain population size and genetic variation, and reduce the damage of diseases to the balance of the whole ecosystem and human health. Therefore, we suggest that a background survey of wild animal populations and their pathogens should be carried out to assess the impact of potential outbreaks on the population or species level. The mechanism of dilution and amplification effect between species diversity and diseases of wild animals should be further studied to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for human intervention measures to change biodiversity. Most importantly, we should closely combine the protection of wild animals with the establishment of an active surveillance, prevention, and control system for wild animal epidemics, in an effort to achieve a win–win situation between wild animal protection and disease control.
