Bats - Walking Virus Library Scientists Discover Six New Coronaviruses

As the outbreak raged, scientists have been trying to figure out the chain of transmission of the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2), and all the current talk of the source of the virus is actually speculationAt the moment, one theory is thought to be most likely - the virus comes from batsRecently, researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK, to determine the "primitive virus type," analyzed data on 160 new coronavirus genomes collected from around the world between December 24, 2019 and March 4, 2020, and found three major SARS-Cov-2 variants, named a type A, B and C depending on amino acid variationsof which the Type A virus is most closest to the coronavirus found in bats and pangolins, for the original virus type, type B derived from Type A, Type C derived from Type BIn addition, the three variants vary widely around the worldTypes A and C are found in Europeans and Americans, and type B is the most common type in East AsiaResearchers at the University of Cambridge,, say studies have shown that the first case of infection with new coronary pneumonia may have been transmitted from bat to human, and occurred between 13 September and 7 December 2019The findings were published in the journal PNAShttps://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2004999117because of its unique life history characteristics, including continuous flight capability, the potential for long-range dispersion, gathering in densely populated places, and resilience to the suburban environment, bats are the natural host of many zoonotic pathogens and a veritable "viral reservoir" for walkingSo, what else is the coronavirus of bat origin? Researchers at the Smithsonian's National Institute for Animal Parks and Conservation recently made new discoveries in myanmar's free-range bats, where they have discovered six new coronaviruses for the first timeThe findings were published in the journal PLOS ONEcoronavirus is a large family that contains the cause of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and, most recently, the new coronary outbreak "pandemic" (COVID-19)It should be emphasized that none of the six viruses identified in the latest study appear to be closely related to the pathogens that cause the three diseases mentioned abovehttps://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0230802specifically, in the latest study, researchers sampled and collected data from three selected locations in Myanmar between May 2016 and August 2018 (high probability of human-animal interaction), taking saliva and fecal samples from more than 400 bats representing 11 species, mainly to detect free-range bat coronaviruses near human communities finally, researchers detected coronaviruses in 48 samples they collected, identifying seven different viruses, six of which were previously unknown The researchers point out that further research is needed to fully understand the potential of the six new coronaviruses spreading to other species and their impact on human health, so as to prevent future outbreaks authors say the importance of bats to ecosystems and human communities, as kind as to the natural repository of many zoonotic pathogens, poses a challenge to disease control These findings underscore the importance of monitoring zoonotic diseases in wild animals These results will guide future monitoring of bat populations to better detect potential viral threats to public health Today, outbreaks of new infectious diseases (EIds) are becoming more frequent, with about 40 species, such as Ebola, SARS, Hendra, swine flu and Nipa virus, identified since the 1970s alone About 60-75% of EIDs are considered "animally contagious", with 70% originating in wild animals What we can do is respect nature, fear life, and follow the laws of nature References: s SCIENTISTS DISCOVER, AS HUMANS RISK DISCOVER .
