Most of the emergences of new virus infections originate from the cross-species transmission of viruses. The fact that some virus infections are strictly specific for the host species indicates that certain “species barriers” in the hosts restrict cross-species jump of viruses, while viruses have evolutionary acquired their own “arms” to overcome/antagonize/neutralize these hurdles.
