In October, in Qingdao, Shandong province, China, medical personnel are collecting samples from citizens to detect a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). [이미지출처=연합뉴스]

[아시아경제 정동훈 기자] A Chinese research team argued that the virus may have already existed in several countries, including India, before the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) occurred in China.

According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 28th, Dr. Sun Living’s team at the Shanghai Institute of Life Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced a study that “the first human transmission it could have occurred in Indian subcontinents like India and Bangladesh. “

The researchers used a method to count the number of mutations in strains in 17 countries based on the judgment that “ the fewer mutations there are in the strain, the closer to the original form of Corona 19. ” As a result, it was argued that strains from eight countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Greece, the United States, Russia, Italy, and the Czech Republic, had the lowest mutation. In particular, it was considered that India and Bangladesh, which has the highest strain diversity, are likely to be among them.

The 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. . In India, where the proportion of young people is high, the incidence of critically ill patients was low, making it difficult to identify the virus.

Some of the research was published in the academic journal Molecular Genetics and Evolution, and other related studies were published on the Lancet medical journal’s pre-dissertation public site, with no peer review (peer review) yet.

However, Professor Mark Suchard of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) criticized the study because “it would be difficult to know the prototype of the virus by choosing the strain that shows the least difference from other strains in a random group (sample).” .

As the World Health Organization (WHO) investigates the origin of Corona 19, the leader of the WHO emergency response team, Mike Ryan, said in a briefing on the 27th (local time) that it was “very speculative to say. “on the theory that the ‘crown 19 originates outside of China’. did.
