After wreaking havoc on the planet for two years, the COVID-19 epidemic has left behind severe impacts on humanity. Scientists have found the "Zombie Virus," another terrible virus, as the globe begins to slowly recover from the pandemic. In this web story, let's learn more about this virus.

Zombie viruses are those that lie dormant for a long time without coming into touch with other living things. This describes the recently identified "Pandora Virus Yedoma." For 48,500 years, it has been inactive.

What is a zombie virus?

Climate change, which is a result of pollution, is melting the icebergs. Scientists have confirmed that the "Zombie Virus" was discovered in the iceberg waters of Siberia, Russia's permafrost area.

How does it come back to life?

Scientists have identified 13 types of viruses in 7 different samples from the Siberian permafrost region.

Types?

Scientists claim that even after lying dormant for thousands of years, "zombie viruses" may still spread disease. A virus that has been dormant for 50,000 years is reported to be capable of effortlessly attacking live cells.

It is inconceivable how much destruction will result if such old viruses infect plants, animals, or humans and cause illnesses.

The currently discovered virus is the oldest in the world. Earlier in 2013, the same group of scientists discovered a 30-year-old virus.

The oldest virus

Scientists have discovered that many old viruses only exist in rivers formed by glaciers.  The Himalayas, which extend out like a protecting wall for India, are currently melting as a result of global warming.

How ‘Zombie Virus’ is a threat  for India?

In the next 80 years, glacial rivers will release more than 100,000 tonnes of microorganisms, according to scientists. It allegedly contains harmful viruses and germs.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions are necessary. Renewable energy sources should be the priority for humanity. Implementing afforestation and reducing carbon emissions is recommended.
