Scientists find 18 more viruses from China's wet markets

India TV News  

Highlights The origins of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has been linked with a seafood market in Wuhan The first cases of SARS-CoV-2 likely emerged from animal to human transmission at Wuhan's wet market An international team of scientists has identified 18 mammalian viruses, which pose high risk to humans and domestic animals, from China's infamous wet markets. China has maintained that the first cases of SARS-CoV-2 likely emerged from animal to human transmission at a wet market in Wuhan. Eighteen viruses were considered as potentially high risk to humans and domestic animals," said corresponding author Shuo Su from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Nanjing Agricultural University in China. Similarly avian influenza virus H9N2 was also identified in civets and Asian badgers, with the latter displaying respiratory symptoms, as well as cases of likely human-to-wildlife virus transmission.
