Where Did SARS-CoV-2 Come From?

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2020

Leitner Thomas, Kumar Sudhir

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of the current COVID-19 pandemic, may help us to avoid future epidemics of coronavirus and other zoonoses. Several theories about the zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2 have recently been proposed. Although Betacoronavirus found in Rhinolophus bats from China have been broadly implicated, their genetic dissimilarity to SARS-CoV-2 is so high that they are...
