While looking into pneumonia cases, scientists in Malaysia have found a new type of coronavirus that can infect humans. It is an alphacoronavirus, which mostly infects cats and dogs. #CoronavirusPandemic
newsbytesapp.com/news/world/dog…
A study published by Malaysian researchers said an alphacoronavirus was isolated from a human pneumonia patient. Out of the 301 samples of hospitalized pneumonia patients in Malaysia, between 2017 and 2018, eight samples (2.7%) were found to be carrying the novel coronavirus.
Meanwhile, a virologist at the Ohio State University confirmed that the virus was a canine coronavirus, earlier thought to be non-transmissible to humans. However, since the majority of the genome was canine coronavirus, it is likely the virus jumped directly from dogs to humans.
Denying the evidence of human to human transmission, virologist Xuming Zhang said that it is too early to irrefutably state that the canine coronavirus causes pneumonia in humans. Genetic data suggest that the virus was caught early in its journey in infecting humans. #COVID19
Further, Dr. Gregory Gray—one of the study's authors—told, "What this suggests is that because we don't have diagnostics that would pick up new coronaviruses in the common hospital laboratory setting, we are missing opportunities to detect pre-pandemic viruses." #dogs #Corona
