Genetic analysis of animals in Wuhan market in 2019 may help find COVID-19's origin

FILE - Shopping mall workers undergo a COVID-19 swab test during the opening at the Paragon shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021. have zeroed in on a short list of animals that possibly helped spread it to people, an effort they hope could allow them to trace the outbreak back to its source.

Michael Worobey, one of the new study’s authors, said they found which sub-populations of animals might have spread the coronavirus, which may help researchers identify COVID-19’s natural reservoir. 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

“It’s a significant finding and this does shift the dial more in favor of an animal origin," Woolhouse, who was not connected to the research, said. “But it is not conclusive.”, scientists from Europe, the U.S. and Australia analyzed data previously released by experts at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It included 800 samples of genetic material Chinese workers collected on Jan.
