Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the #USask @VIDOInterVac, is part of the team that authored a study that provides evidence that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market was the early epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. bit.ly/3BF2iyf
The study, led by Dr. Michael Worobey, a Canadian virus evolution scientist at @uarizona, traced the start of the pandemic to the market in China, where wildlife susceptible to the virus were sold immediately before the pandemic began.
The scientists developed a detailed map of the market and showed a clear association of SARS-CoV-2-positive samples (reported by Chinese researchers in early 2020) and the western portion of the market, where live or freshly butchered animals were sold in late 2019.
