Scientists have found the original source of coronavirus in ChinaAmerican and European scientists were able to prove that the seafood market in the Chinese city of Wuhan became the epicenter of the spread of coronavirus, according to an article published in the American scientific journal Cell.
According to scientists, mammals that could be infected with coronavirus were sold at the market in Wuhan, including civets, bamboo rats and raccoon dogs.
If the Huanan market was the origin of the transmission chains that led to the COVID-19 pandemic, the common ancestor of virus genotypes from the market should be the same as that of the pandemic… We found that the common ancestor of market-associated genomes was equivalent to the ancestor of the larger pandemic.
