July 2016 Russian government deployed bio-warfare teams to the Arctic after reports 1,200 reindeer and 40 people infected with a rapidly spreading virus identified as a strain of Anthrax, believed to have been released into the wildlife and human population after warmer temperatures melted the ice. “Permafrost is a very good preserver of microbes and viruses, because it is cold, there is no oxygen, and it is dark,” says evolutionary biologist Jean-Michel Claverie at Aix-Marseille University in France. “Pathogenic viruses that can infect humans or animals might be preserved in old permafrost layers, including some that have caused global epidemics in the past.”
