Corona-virus: Where did the corona-virus start?Is China responsible or Else

Attempts are being made to find out how the deadly coronavirus spread from animals to humans. Correspondent Helenberg examines how scientists are trying to find out where the epidemic began.

A bat flying in the air in an area of ​​China has released the coronavirus in its lead.

The virus spread to other animals. The infected animal fell into the hands of humans and the disease began to spread to humans and became an epidemic in the world.

Andrew Cunningham, a professor at the Zoological Society of London, says scientists are trying to link the events like a spy. They say the virus can be found in a variety of wild animals, especially bats, which contain a variety of coronaviruses.

So how much do we know about 'virus outbreaks'?

When the scientists examined the virus from a patient's body, they pointed directly at the bats. Bats fly long distances and are present on every continent. They themselves are not very sick, but they are adept at spreading the virus far and wide.

According to Professor Kate Jones of University College London, there is evidence that bats have become accustomed to long and tiring flight and are capable of repairing DNA damage on their own. Since then, she has been able to bear the brunt of many viruses in her body, but this is still an idea.

Jonathan Ball, a professor at the University of Nottingham, says that looking at the lifestyle of bats, there is no doubt that the virus thrives in them, and because they are mammals, they can transmit the virus directly or indirectly to humans. I can also move.

The second question in the mystery is the identity of the mysterious animal that got the virus into the market in Wuhan. An animal named Pangolin is being suspected in this regard. This animal that eats ants and other insects is said to be the most smuggled animal in the world and is endangered.

It is used in traditional Chinese medicine and is considered by some to be fine food. However, experts say that no conclusions can be drawn because the full details of the penguin review have not yet been released. Not all reports can be verified.

Pangolins and other wildlife, including many species of bats, are often sold in wet markets (markets where live animals are kept in the water), which increases the risk of spreading the virus from one animal to another. Animals and humans are more likely to spread the virus in such markets.

One such market in Wuhan was closed after the outbreak, which included a wildlife section selling live and slaughtered animals. Organs of camels, bears, and other animals were being sold. According to the Guardian, the list of items sold at a store includes wolves, golden locusts, scorpions, rats, squirrels, foxes, blackbirds, turtles, and turtles. The fish meat was included.

As far as we know, bats and pangolins were not on the list. Chinese officials will know what was being sold there. Experts say that in recent years all the viruses we have detected have been transmitted from wildlife to humans, whether it is Ebola or SARS and now the Coronavirus.

Professor Jones says wildlife outbreaks are on the rise and the human population is being exposed to new viruses. Humans are taking over forests. Forest lands are being used, which could lead to the spread of wildlife-borne viruses.

"If we know what the dangers are, we can take action in advance," said Professor Cunningham. Although bats are more susceptible to viruses, they are also important in running the ecosystem.

Insect-eating bats prey on a large number of insects, including pesticides and mosquitoes that destroy crops. But soon these markets became fully operational in China, Vietnam, and other parts of Southeast Asia.

China has once again banned the sale and purchase of wildlife products. It is reported that this ban will be permanent.

Diana Bell, a professor at the University of East Anglia, says we may never know when and how the deadly disease occurred, but we can prevent the "next storm" from coming. We are collecting animals from different regions of different countries and different lifestyles, different environments, some living on trees, some on land and some in water, which is dangerous and we must stop it.
