Description
Nobuhiro Suzuki, Shin-Yi L Marzano, Taiyun Wei, and Massimo Turina introduce, in 2026, a special issue of Virus Research devoted to viruses that cross kingdoms. Most viruses stay within one kingdom of life, yet jumps from wild animals into people have repeatedly caused epidemics and pandemics.
The editors note that people eat plant viruses daily without infection, underscoring how strong the kingdom barrier usually is, and they frame the puzzle of the rare cases that break it. Plants, fungi, and animals each host vast virus worlds with limited overlap. Virologists gain an agenda-setting overview that gathers work on host jumps, spillover, and the rules that keep most viruses confined to a narrow set of hosts.
