The growing (known) virosphere!
Incredible - using AI, 161,979 putative RNA virus species and 180 RNA virus supergroups identified (mostly) in SRA. A massive increase in the number of described viruses: in 2022, ICTV has classified 11,273 named virus species. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Unfortunately, couldn't make it to the World One Health Congress #WOHC2024 this time around. Bummed to miss the chance to reconnect with close #OneHealth colleagues from around the world and to make new linkages, but wishing everyone a fruitful meeting in Cape Town!
