Steele EJ, Qu J, Gorczynski RM, et al. Origin of new emergent Coronavirus and Candida fungal diseases—Terrestrial or cosmic? [published online ahead of print, 2020 Jul 14]. Adv Genet. 2020;doi:10.1016/bs.adgen.2020.04.002
Abstract
The origins and global spread of two recent, yet quite different, pandemic diseases is discussed and reviewed in depth: Candida auris, a eukaryotic fungal disease, and COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), a positive strand RNA viral respiratory disease. Both these diseases display highly distinctive patterns of sudden emergence and global spread, which are not easy to understand by conventional epidemiological analysis based on simple infection-driven human- to-human spread of an infectious disease (assumed to jump suddenly and thus genetically, from an animal reservoir). Both these enigmatic diseases make sense however under a Panspermia in-fall model and the evidence consistent with such a model is critically reviewed.
