A Chinese research team argued that the virus may already existed in several countries, including India, prior to the coronavirus outbreak in China.
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported today (28) that Dr. Sun Living’s team at the Institute of Life Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai announced the results of a study that “the first human transmission it may have occurred in Indian subcontinents such as India and Bangladesh. ”
Dr. Sun Living’s team used a method to count the number of mutations in strains in 17 countries based on the judgment that the fewer mutations in the strain, the closer to the original Corona 19.
As a result of the study, strains from eight countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Greece, the United States, Russia, Italy and the Czech Republic, had the lowest mutation. He insisted.
Researchers raised the possibility that animals and humans used the same source of drinking water during the record heat wave and drought in India in May last year, and the virus could have been transmitted from animals to humans in the process.
India has a high proportion of young people, so the incidence of critically ill patients is low and the virus is difficult to identify.
Some of these studies were published in the academic journal Molecular Genetics and Evolution, and other related studies have not yet been peer-reviewed and have been published on the Lancet medical journal’s preliminary thesis public site.
China has repeatedly denied claims that Corona 19 originated in Wuhan, China.
In particular, the cases in which the Corona 19 virus was detected in frozen foods imported from abroad are actively being presented as the basis for “external flow”.
But Professor Mark Sucherd of the University of California, Los Angeles, criticized the study because “it would be difficult to know the prototype of the virus by choosing the strain that has the least difference from the other strains in an arbitrary group.”
While the WHO and WHO are investigating the origin of Corona 19, the leader of the WHO emergency response team, Mike Ryan, said: “It is very speculative to say” about the theory of Corona 19 origin outside of China briefing yesterday (27) local time. Revealed.
