Agricultural University, Which animal has been

spread?

C. Bat
D. Pangolins
 Detailed About MCQs
• Researchers have long suspected that the virus, which has now killed more than
630 people and infected some 31,000, was passed from an animal to a human at
a market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. Researchers at the
South China Agricultural University have identified the scaly mammal as a
“potential intermediate host”, the university said in a statement, without
providing further details. The new virus is believed to have originated in bats,
but researchers have suggested there could have been an “intermediate host” in
the transmission to humans. After testing more than 1,000 samples from wild
animals, scientists from the university found the genome sequences of viruses
found on pangolins to be 99 per cent identical to those on coronavirus patients,
the official Xinhua news agency reported. The pangolin is considered the most
trafficked animal on the planet and more than one million have been snatched
from Asian and African forests in the past decade, according to the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

“very grave threat” for the world but there was a “realistic chance” of stopping
it. “We now have a name for the disease and it’s COVID-19,” World Health
Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva.
Tedros said that “co” stands for “corona”, “vi” for “virus” and “d” for “disease”,
while “19” was for the year, as the outbreak was first identified on December 31.
Tedros said the name had been chosen to avoid references to a specific
geographical location, animal species or group of people in line with
international recommendations for naming aimed at preventing stigmatisation.
WHO had earlier given the virus the temporary name of “2019-nCoV acute
respiratory disease” and China’s National Health Commission this week said it
was temporarily calling it “novel coronavirus pneumonia” or NCP.
