Researchers have found that viral epidemics in plants hit cultivated areas more than non-cultivated areas. The finding, which was published in the ISME Journal, is the collaborative result between France and South Africa regarding the floristic areas – regions that have distinct plant life – in the Western Cape and Camargue regions in South Africa and France, respectively.
The outcome of the study substantiated the researchers’ claim that modern agriculture plays a major role in virus distribution; unfortunately, the practice has yet to understand the diversity and roles of viruses in nature.
