“…There is increasing concern that permafrost could be a reservoir of plant and animal pathogens ( 11 ). This threat was highlighted by an outbreak of anthrax in humans from infected reindeer carcasses that were exposed during permafrost thaw in Siberia, resulting in several deaths ( 12 , 13 ).…”

“…Floods and storms were commonly associated with wastewater overflow, leading to the direct and foodborne transmission of noroviruses 16 , hantavirus 42 , hepatitis 43 and Cryptosporidium 44 . Warming was also related to melting ice and thawing permafrost exposing once-frozen pathogens 45 . For instance, genetic analyses of an anthrax outbreak in the Arctic circle suggest that the bacterial strain may have been ancient and emerged from an unearthed animal corpse as the frozen ground thawed 46 .…”

“…For instance, genetic analyses of an anthrax outbreak in the Arctic circle suggest that the bacterial strain may have been ancient and emerged from an unearthed animal corpse as the frozen ground thawed 46 . The successful emergence of pathogens frozen in time could be regarded as a ‘Pandora’s box’, given the potentially large pool of pathogens accumulated over time and the extent to which these pathogens may be new to people 45 .…”

“…De novo annotation of unassembled and SPAdes-assembled ( 9 ) sequences was done in JGI’s Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes (IMG/M) system ( 10 ). These data provide a resource to analyze microbial functions across topographical features and at different depths at a changing Arctic tundra site in order to understand and predict future climate trends and threads ( 11 13 ).…”
