Agriculture increases potential health risks of vertebrate viruses in soils
Open Access
Abstract
Here, we conducted a large‐scale investigation of vertebrate viruses in soils and found soil was a mediator of vertebrate viruses. Compared to natural soils, agricultural soils possessed distinct prevalence patterns, with a higher detection rate and richness for vertebrate viruses and higher potential health risks.Keywords
