New analysis of samples from Wuhan animal market supports its role as a central site of early spread of Covid-19
After an in-depth analysis of the genetic material from hundreds of swabs taken from the walls, floors, machines and drains inside the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China — a site that’s been described as an epicenter of early spread of Covid-19 — scientists say they now know exactly which species of animals were in the same area where investigators also found the most positive samples the virus that causes Covid-19.
Scientists Shed Light on Wildlife Species at Origin of COVID-19 in Wuhan
Genetic tracing at the Huanan Seafood Market supports hypothesis that the COVID pandemic spread from animals there.
Genetic tracing at the Huanan Seafood market further supports COVID animal origins
A new study provides a list of the wildlife species present at the market from which SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, most likely arose in late 2019. The study is based on a new analysis of metatranscriptomic data released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
