Stress can have a negative influence on the human brain, but increasingly it is the ability to withstand severe stress that is the focus of research.
To determine the course and source of the virus’s spread around the globe, a UC Berkeley researcher Michael Boots, professor of integrative biology, collaborated with colleagues at Exeter University in the UK to analyze the genomes of viruses collected from around Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.
“The key insight of our work is that the global virus pandemic in honeybees is manmade not natural,”
