Even after 3 years of the corona epidemic, the origin of corona remains a big question. Most people believe that the origin of corona is related to bats. While some people believe that this virus leaked from the laboratory of Wuhan, China. However, a new study has claimed that the Kovid-19 virus may have been spread by a raccoon dog in Wuhan, China, that is, the work of spreading the virus due to which the world has been witnessing devastation for three years, the raccoon dog. did.
<p style="text-align: justify;"Although the Chinese authorities closed the Wuhan market after the connection with the Corona epidemic was revealed and the animals were also removed from there. Data for this study was taken from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which opened in January 2020, under the leadership of experts from the Universities of Arizona, Utah and Sydney and the Scripps Research Institute. Researchers of this study used swabbing walls, floors, vehicles and metal Collected samples from the cages of According to the New York Times report, the results of the study showed that the data collected matched that of the raccoon dog. Stephen Goldstein, a virologist at the University of Utah, said that virus nucleic acid as well as raccoon dog nucleic acid were found in one of the samples taken.
Corona spread from wild animal to humans!
<p style="text-align: justify;"However, the team said that matching the genetic material from the virus and the animal does not prove at all that the raccoon dog was the cause of the corona epidemic. If a raccoon dog was infected, it is not clear whether this animal spread the virus to people. He said that it is possible that some other animal may have spread the virus to the people and then people have infected the raccoon dog with this virus. However, the scientists said that their study suggests that the raccoon dogs left genetic traces at the same sites where the virus was observed. Evidence also points to the virus being transmitted from a wild animal to humans.
