According to the phylogenetic tree (Figure 1B), 13 genetically distinct groups based on HA genes were identified. Most of the strains in the H6NX ML tree were isolated from ducks, indicating that ducks are the main host for H6-subtype AIVs. The number of strains originating from chickens was relatively small, and they were mainly distributed in China. The strains isolated in the early 1970s were mainly concentrated in North America to form G1 and G2 groups. H6N2 and H6N6-subtype AIVs co-evolved and were mainly distributed in the Asia continent especially China. The ZJ49 isolate was located in the G12 group and was most genetically related to A/duck/Hunan/2.06_YYGK86J3-OC/2018 (H6N6), which was consistent with the analysis by BLAST (Figure 1B; Supplementary Table S4). The genome nucleotide homology between these two strains was 98.53% (Supplementary Table S4). The NA subtypes of the G13 strains were more abundant and mainly composed of Eurasian strains and American strains. The strain of H6N1 isolated from human was located in this group.
Reassortment analysis on concatenated H6N6 virus genomes. (A) ML phylogenetic trees inferred for HXN6-subtype AIVs HA and NA using RAxML under the general time-reversible substitution model with gamma-distributed rates across sites. In total, 1,000 bootstraps were evaluated to assess support values. (B) Reassortment analysis was performed using Simplot (v.3.5.1). The H6N6 group mainly included the following strains: A/duck/Jiangxi/10.30_NCNP67B3-OC/2017 (H6N6), A/duck/Ganzhou/GZ151/2016 (H6N6), A/chicken/Hunan/1.12_YYGK22H3-OC/2018 (H6N6), A/environment/Jiangxi/2.06_SRXZJG016-E/2017 (H6N6), A/duck/Hunan/2.06_YYGK86J3-OC/2018 (H6N6), and A/duck/Hunan/2.06_YYGK73J3-OC/2018 (H6N6). (C) Reassortment analysis was performed using RDP (v.5.5).
In this paper we empirically investigate whether using different metaphors to talk about crime indeed leads people to reason about crime differently and, in turn, leads them to propose different solutions to the crime problem. We will focus on two contrasting metaphors for crime: crime as a virus and crime as a beast. Do these metaphors subtly encourage people to reason about crime in a way that is consistent with the entailments of the metaphors? For example, might talking about crime as a virus lead people to propose treating the crime problem the same way as one would treat a literal virus epidemic? Might talking about crime as a beast lead people to propose dealing with a crime problem the same way as one would deal with a literal wild animal attack?
Might these schematic representations for solving literal virus or beast problems transfer to people's reasoning about crime if crime is metaphorically framed as a virus or a beast? That is, if crime is talked about as a virus, will people suggest diagnosing the root cause of the problem and enacting social reform to treat and inoculate the community? If crime is a beast, will people suggest catching and jailing criminals in order to fight off the crime attack?
In Experiment 1, we gave people a report about increasing crime rates in the City of Addison and asked them to propose a solution. For half of the participants, crime was metaphorically described as a beast preying on Addison, and for the other half as a virus infecting Addison. The rest of the report contained crime statistics that were identical for the two metaphor conditions. The results revealed that metaphors systematically influenced how people proposed solving Addison's crime problem. When crime was framed metaphorically as a virus, participants proposed investigating the root causes and treating the problem by enacting social reform to inoculate the community, with emphasis on eradicating poverty and improving education. When crime was framed metaphorically as a beast, participants proposed catching and jailing criminals and enacting harsher enforcement laws.
In each of the five experiments, participants were presented with a survey that included a short paragraph about crime in the fictional city of Addison and some follow-up questions. The survey differed subtly between experiments, but always contrasted a crime-as-virus framing with a crime-as-beast framing.
In the first experiment, participants were presented with one of two versions of the crime paragraph. The two versions of the paragraph differed only in the embedded metaphor: In one, crime was a beast; in the other, crime was a virus. The majority of the paragraph consisted of crime statistics, which were the same in both versions. Half of the participants were given the crime-as-beast version and half the crime-as-virus version. The paragraph read:
Crime is a wild beast preying on/virus infecting the city of Addison. The crime rate in the once peaceful city has steadily increased over the past three years. In fact, these days it seems that crime is lurking in/plaguing every neighborhood. In 2004, 46,177 crimes were reported compared to more than 55,000 reported in 2007. The rise in violent crime is particularly alarming. In 2004, there were 330 murders in the city, in 2007, there were over 500.
The crime report used in the second experiment was similar, but not identical to the one used in Experiment 1. Importantly, it instantiated the beast or virus metaphor for crime with a single word. It read as follows:
Crime is a beast/virus ravaging the city of Addison. Five years ago Addison was in good shape, with no obvious vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, in the past five years the city's defense systems have weakened, and the city has succumbed to crime. Today, there are more than 55,000 criminal incidents a year - up by more than 10,000 per year. There is a worry that if the city does not regain its strength soon, even more serious problems may start to develop.

Results of Experiment 2 replicate and extend the findings of Experiment 1. Manipulating the metaphor used to frame the issue of crime influenced how people approached solving the crime problem. When crime was framed as a virus, participants were more likely to suggest social reform. Alternatively, when crime was framed as a beast, participants were more likely to suggest law enforcement and punishment.

Technobeasts were part machine, part organic Sithspawn mutants. They were created by infecting living organisms with the nanogene spore, a technovirus developed through a combination of Sith alchemy and a Force technique called mechu-deru. The virus grew metallic tumors over the bodies of its victims, ultimately lobotomizing their brains and transforming them into weaponized cyborgs. Living subjects from a number of different species were infected by the virus, spawning mutated amalgamations of metal and flesh in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Technobeasts were characterized by an infection from the nanogene spore, a technovirus capable of transmuting living tissue into metallic parts.[2] Consisting of microscopic nanogene droids,[4] the technovirus instinctively moved towards the brain of the victim, lobotomizing their frontal lobe and rendering them incapable of higher thought. By this point, the subject's transformation into a Sithspawn hybrid was irreversible. Before the lobotomy took place, however, it was possible to halt the transformation through the power of the Force,[2] or by purging the nanogene droids with intense heat.[3] While they were initially deemed intelligent beings,[5] technobeasts with long-term exposure to the nanogene spore would undergo severe mental degradation, limiting their motor functions and reducing the creatures to clumsy, shambling automata.[3]
Once fully transformed, most remnants of living tissue on the creatures would have rotted away, leaving only small strands of skin and sinew surrounded by metallic scraps, rods and wires. The transformation also deteriorated the victim's vocal cords, rendering the technobeasts incapable of speech.[3] Due to the innately experimental nature of the nanogene spore, the manner in which the subjects were transformed had varying results, making all technobeasts unique. Some of the creatures possessed zigzags of scarred tissue caused by the virus building upon its own metallic chunks. In other cases, victims ended up with multiple heads or crab-like pincers.[2]
Infested with the nanogene spore, technobeasts were able to infect other living organisms with the virus, potentially transforming additional victims into the creatures themselves.[4] The humanoid variants were capable of dispersing clouds of the technovirus from their mouths. In combat, the creatures became enraged while attacking their foes, relentlessly swarming against them in large numbers. Despite their aggressive nature, the technobeasts attacked in a slow, cumbersome manner. In addition, the creatures were vulnerable to heavy blasts of energy from the Force, as well as Sith lightning and lightsaber strikes.[3]
Thousands of years before the Great Sith War, a small number of Sith magicians discovered mechu-deru, a Force technique granting them the ability to manipulate mechanical structures. Using this technique, the Sith created part-machine, part-organic hybrids known as technobeasts. The power of mechu-deru was practiced by only a few at this time, causing its secrets to fade into obscurity.[1][7]
