Pangolins
Coronavirus is linked to the novel disease found in pangolins!
It was 99% identical to the strain found in infected people. The research has found that they are ‘the most likely intermediate host’ of coronavirus, which has spread to 25 countries.
Since pangolins emerged at a seafood market in Wuhan, China, in December.It's been a suspect carrier!
This latest discovery however, will be of great importance for the prevention and control of the origin of the virus. Investigations are still ongoing.
Some scientists broadly agree that coronavirus may have originated in bats and then passed to humans, possibly via another species.
However, everyone should avoid this most trafficked animal as well as eating bats link to humans via food markets.
