COVID pandemic: Researchers create shortlist of animals that could reveal Wuhan origins of virus
A new genetic analysis looks at species of animals present at the Wuhan market that may have spread COVID-19 to people.
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.
A new genetic analysis of animals in the Wuhan market in 2019 may help find COVID-19's origin
While the research bolsters the case that COVID-19 emerged from animals, it does not resolve the polarized and political debate over whether the virus instead emerged from a research lab in China.
Scientists again link covid pandemic origin to Wuhan market animals
Genetic evidence from a new report suggests the coronavirus pandemic most likely spilled over from animals in the Wuhan market.
New Data Supports Animal Market Origins for COVID Pandemic
That theory is now supported by a new study analyzing more than 800 samples collected in and around the market in January 2020 as the pandemic began. Those samples show that animal species known to carry the COVID coronavirus were present in the market,
Study supports COVID-19 origin theory linked to Wuhan animal market
A new peer-reviewed paper presents evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic started in a seafood market in Wuhan, China, where many of the first cases of the disease were identified. The paper, published Thursday in the scientific journal Cell,
New generic analysis may help find COVID-19's origin
We've rolled out a vaccine to contain the virus, and everyone is able to go outside again and return to their normal lives.But then we find out, just as we've been reuniting with all our old friends and returning to work,
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).
