  1. Farmed #fur #animals harbour #viruses with #zoonotic #spillover potential, Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-024

    We identified 7 species of #coronaviruses, expanding their known host range, & documented cross-species transmission of a novel #canine respiratory coronavirus to raccoon dogs & of #bat HKU5-like CoV to #mink, present at a high abundance in lung tissues. 3 subtypes of #influenza A virus—#H1N2, #H5N6 & #H6N2—were detected in #lungs of guinea pig, mink and #muskrat, respectively.

  2. New (as yet unpublished) potential evidence that #SARS-#CoV-2 was found in #raccoon #dogs (canids) in the #Huanan #Market in late-2019.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:

    -not yet #peer #reviewed.

    -lots of DNA mixing together in a market.

    -can the #provenance of the data be #verified?

    - #zoonotic/#lab/market #origin are not #mutually #exclusive.
