As coronavirus research continues to reach deeper levels, people become more concerned about this question: how have humans and other animals continuously dealt with various viral infections during the long-term evolution? The long-term co-existence between viruses and their hosts involves an evolutionary concept: coevolution. Co-evolution refers to the process of reciprocal evolutionary changes between pairs of species as they interact with one another. How does virus-host co-evolution proceed?
Next, Dr. Liu Zhijin from the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences will share his knowledge about virus-host coevolution.
