Banroi
is spreading coronavirus?
What is the cause of pandemic
coronavirus infection in China but Pangolin or Banroi?
The name of the endangered
Banroi has come up after discussion in search of a source of infection. Chinese
researchers are skeptical of this endangered animal.
Researchers at South China
Agricultural University in Guangzhou Province say more than a thousand wildlife
suspected of spreading coronavirus have been tested,
Coronavirus genome sequencing
corresponds to 5 percent of the genome sequence of the virus found in the body
of the Bonarui (complete DNA sequence of cells).
The only mammal in the world,
Banrui, is called the most trafficked animal in the world. In China and
Vietnam, Ayurveda is used in the treatment of Ayurveda.
Guangzhou researchers believe
that the origin of the lethal novel coronavirus (25-NCOV), however, is bats,
but another organism has a role in spreading it to humans. They think that the
creature is a pangolin or a bunny.
In the words of virology, such
a host of animals are called intermediate carriers. However, British scientists
have already questioned how credible this result of Chinese scientists'
research is. They say that more detailed research is needed before confirming
this.
After the warning of the World
Health Organization on December 5, China detected a new coronavirus. Scientists
believe the virus has spread from a seafood market in Wuhan, Hubei province.
In the beginning, many pointed
to snakes and bats. Again another part of the scientists said that the
coronavirus uses snakes as a host. Although no such evidence has ever been
found.
Chinese news agency Xinhua
reported that they had found the most similar form of novel coronavirus with
the gene variants found in the body of Banrui by conducting experiments on more
than a thousand wildlife. And it may be easier to find a way to control the
coronavirus.
James Wood, a teacher at the
University of Cambridge's Department of Veterinary Medicine, questioned the
credibility of the study, although a full report was not published in any
journal.
In his view, this claim of
Chinese researchers is based on the very basic assumption. There is less chance
of reaching a conclusion.
