#Genetic #tracing of #market #wildlife and #viruses at #epicenter of #COVID19 #pandemic, Cell: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)00901-2
Common #ancestor of #SARS-CoV-2 linked to #Huanan market matches global common ancestor. Wildlife mitochondrial DNA identified in samples from stalls positive for SARS-CoV-2.
DNA from raccoon dogs, civets, & other wildlife species detected in market samples. Genotypes of potential hosts were reconstructed for retracing animal geographic origins. -

Official #WHO #statement on #COVID and #raccoon #dog #DNA 🧬 reportedly found via #sequencing at the #Wuhan #Huanan #Market in early 2020.
“The findings suggest that animals were present at the market shortly before the market had been cleared on 1 January 2020, as part of the #public #health measures by Chinese authorities. These results provide potential leads to identifying intermediate hosts of #SARS- #CoV-2 and potential sources of human #infections in the market.”

New (as yet unpublished) potential evidence that #SARS-#CoV-2 was found in #raccoon #dogs (canids) in the #Huanan #Market in late-2019. Specifically, viral and raccoon dog #DNA in #swabs presumably taken at the time from a stall known to house those animals.
Caveats:
-lots of DNA mixing together in a market.
-can the #provenance of the data be #verified?
- #zoonotic/#lab/market #origin are not #mutually #exclusive.

#MustRead #longRead 🧵 from Dr. Angela Rasmussen (@angie_rasmussen @ :twitter:):
"Where did the pandemic begin?
Was it from nature or a lab?
Since the start, this fundamental question has gone unanswered.
Until now.
Out in Science Magazine: SARS-CoV-2 emerged into humans via the live animal trade at the Huanan Seafood Market. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715 "
