| Scientists say they have found evidence that changes in animal behaviour caused by damage to forests can lead to wildlife and humans being exposed to dangerous viruses. | |
| A study led by Stirling and Wisconsin-Madison Universities focused on a forest in western Uganda where palm trees have become extinct as a result of people using them to dry tobacco leaves. | |
| Scientists filmed chimpanzees and antelope finding an alternative source of minerals in bat excrement. | |
| But tests found this contained several viruses including one related to the virus that caused the Covid-19 pandemic. | |
| "About a quarter the 27 viruses we identified were viruses of mammals - the rest were viruses of insects and other invertebrates," Prof Tony Goldberg told the BBC. | |
| "All 27 viruses were new to science, so we don't know what effects they might have on humans or other animals. But one virus stood out because is was a relative of a virus everyone knows: SARS coronavirus 2." | |
| Researchers hope their findings could help understand and prevent the onset of outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics including coronaviruses and possibly Ebola. | |
