Asia Today: Most of 51 new SKorea cases linked to door sales 2020-06-05T04:00:00Z Pangolins were initially suspected, although more recent analysis of pangolin coronaviruses suggests that although they probably have played a part in the new virus’s evolution, there is no evidence that they were the immediate source. U.S. and Chinese Scientists Trace Evolution of Coronaviruses in Bats 2020-06-01T04:00:00Z There is one for pangolins, an endangered animal that has been identified as a possible carrier of the coronavirus. China Vowed to Keep Wildlife Off the Menu, a Tough Promise to Keep 2020-06-07T04:00:00Z Evidence suggests that Covid-19 likely originated in a bat, possibly jumped to a pangolin — which looks like a scaly anteater — and then infected a human, maybe at a live animal market in Wuhan, China. To prevent pandemics, bridging the human and animal health divide 2020-06-01T04:00:00Z The US-based scientists said this ability could have been acquired from a virus found in pangolins – a scaly mammal that is one of the most illegally trafficked animals on the planet.

When Did the Coronavirus Arrive in the U.S.? Here’s a Review of the Evidence. 2020-05-15T04:00:00Z Loss of funding for conservation work is a growing concern, particularly for lesser-known endangered species, such as pangolins, which already receive a "smaller slice of the cake". Pandemic puts spotlight on landmark year for nature 2020-05-13T04:00:00Z Mysteriously, many of the required changes were found in the more distantly related viruses from pangolins. Was the coronavirus made in a Wuhan lab? Here’s what the genetic evidence shows 2020-05-09T04:00:00Z That number is likely to be many times higher, judging by seizures of animal parts such as pangolin scales, rhino horn and tiger bone. 'It's against nature': illegal wildlife trade casts shadow over traditional Chinese medicine 2020-05-26T04:00:00Z Scientists claim to have unearthed more clues about how the new coronavirus could have spread from bats through pangolins and into humans as the number of infections worldwide neared six million. Global report: new clues about how coronavirus formed as US severs ties with WHO 2020-05-30T04:00:00Z Although pangolins were not – officially – listed as traded at the market, it was certainly host to other wild animals such as wolf pups, crocodiles and civets. We created the Anthropocene, and the Anthropocene is biting back | Alastair Gee, Dani Anguiano 2020-05-05T04:00:00Z Epidemiologists want to tiptoe into wild habitats and test mammals known to carry coronaviruses—bats, rodents, badgers, civets, pangolins and monkeys—to map how the germs are moving. Stopping Deforestation Can Prevent Pandemics 2020-05-01T04:00:00Z Most scientists now say the new coronavirus originated in wildlife, with bats and pangolins identified as possible host species. Pompeo pushes China to provide access to Wuhan labs over coronavirus outbreak 2020-04-29T04:00:00Z And although the virus is likely to have started with bats and migrated to a secondary host like pangolins, there is no evidence that cows, pigs and chickens can be infected with the virus. In one month, the meat industry’s supply chain broke. Here’s what you need to know. 2020-04-28T04:00:00Z The study still doesn’t confirm the pangolin as the animal that passed the virus to humans, but it adds weight to previous studies that have suggested it may have been involved. Global report: new clues about how coronavirus formed as US severs ties with WHO 2020-05-30T04:00:00Z A: I don’t see any reason to assume that the virus passed through pangolins on its way to humans. Germany's Covid-19 expert: 'For many, I'm the evil guy crippling the economy' 2020-04-26T04:00:00Z Albatrosses ingest plastic; humans and marsupials flee the burning bush; migrants are set adrift, and the Mariner’s albatross becomes a pangolin or a bat. Why Willem Dafoe, Iggy Pop and more are reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to us 2020-04-24T04:00:00Z While the pangolin virus was “genetically related” to the one infecting humans, it was “unlikely to be directly linked to the outbreak because of the substantial sequence differences”. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z A common theory – though far from confirmed – is that Covid-19 originated in a live animal market in Wuhan, with the disease being transmitted from illegally traded bat or pangolin meat. Paul McCartney calls for 'medieval' Chinese markets to be banned over coronavirus 2020-04-14T04:00:00Z Resurgent pangolin consumption is thus a result of economic liberalisation in China – which the US championed – not simply of traditional culture. Blaming China for coronavirus isn’t just dangerous. It misses the point | Andrew Liu 2020-04-10T04:00:00Z One animal implicated as an intermediary host between bats and humans is the pangolin. How did coronavirus start and where did it come from? Was it really Wuhan's animal market? 2020-04-09T04:00:00Z The broad consensus suggests SARS-CoV-2 originated in bats, and early research suggested it reached humans via snakes, but many say pangolin - also on sale in the Wuhan market - are a more likely culprit. China snake village scales down as coronavirus prompts wildlife trade ban 2020-04-08T04:00:00Z On 24 February, China announced an immediate ban on trading and eating many wild animals, including pangolins. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z The likely trajectory of the virus is from a horseshoe bat to an intermediary, possibly a pangolin, and then to a person. Why China’s wildlife ban is not enough to stop another virus outbreak 2020-04-02T04:00:00Z The novel coronavirus sweeping the globe already jumped species, probably originating in bats and possibly infecting pangolins before hitting humans. Coronavirus could threaten endangered great apes, scientists warn 2020-03-25T04:00:00Z “Whether the poor pangolin was the species at which it jumped, it’s not clear,” Turner says. How did coronavirus start and where did it come from? Was it really Wuhan's animal market? 2020-04-09T04:00:00Z Writing in the journal Nature, the researchers describe how they went on to compare the structure of the pandemic coronavirus with related strains found in bats and pangolins. New study sheds light on coronavirus infection mechanism 2020-03-30T04:00:00Z This was the latest in a series of steps that ought to reduce the pangolin trade. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z While the pangolin trade is vast, Dr. Daszak said most of it “is in their scales, dried, in which viruses would almost certainly not be able to persist.” Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z Further surveillance on pangolins in the wild in China and Southeast Asia is needed to understand their role in the emergence of coronaviruses and the risk of future transmission to humans, they add. Pangolins carry viruses related to Covid-19 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z “It’s either mixed in something else, mixed in a poor pangolin, or it’s jumped into people and evolved in people.” How did coronavirus start and where did it come from? Was it really Wuhan's animal market? 2020-04-09T04:00:00Z It jumped into the human species last year in Wuhan, China, probably through an intermediate species — possibly a pangolin, an endangered anteater whose scales are trafficked for traditional medicine. The coronavirus isn’t mutating quickly, suggesting a vaccine would offer lasting protection 2020-03-24T04:00:00Z All eight pangolin species were placed in Appendix I of the Convention, giving them the strictest protection currently possible. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z And there has been no clear path established from bats to pangolins. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z This time, “the pangolin has been implicated, but it’s still unclear whether the virus cycled through other animals,” Dr. Hotez said. What we’ve learned about COVID-19 2020-03-24T04:00:00Z Perlman told Guardian Australia he does believe there was an intermediary animal but adds that while pangolins are possible candidates, they “are not proven to be the key intermediary”. How did coronavirus start and where did it come from? Was it really Wuhan's animal market? 2020-04-09T04:00:00Z Before the outbreak began, it was legal in China to sell 54 species of animals, like pangolins and civets — as long as they were raised on farms. What are the 'wet markets' linked to the coronavirus outbreak? 2020-03-23T04:00:00Z More recently, in August 2019, China’s state insurance providers announced that they would stop covering medicines made from pangolin scales. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z Both bats and pangolins have viruses similar to the new coronavirus. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z Genetic analyses haven’t confirmed pangolins as a culprit, leading to fears they will be slaughtered en masse for no reason. What we’ve learned about COVID-19 2020-03-24T04:00:00Z Scientists say the coronavirus is most likely to have begun in bats and then jumped to an intermediate carrier, perhaps pangolins, before mutating into a form that humans could catch. ‘Wolf Warrior’ strives to make China first with coronavirus vaccine 2020-03-19T04:00:00Z Two researchers at the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou have suggested that pangolins — long-snouted mammals often used in traditional Chinese medicine — are the probable animal source of the coronavirus outbreak. Coronavirus latest: Italy death toll overtakes China’s 2020-03-19T04:00:00Z This suggests that the bat and pangolin viruses met, perhaps in the same host, and exchanged genes. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z The initial public interest in pangolins arose from reports out of China that a virus found in sick Malayan pangolins was almost identical to the virus sickening people. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z Currently, Vietnamese law prohibits the trafficking of protected wildlife products, such as pangolins or rhinos, and the illegal trading or killing of wildlife. Billion-dollar wildlife industry in Vietnam under assault as law drafted to halt trading 2020-03-18T04:00:00Z To many, the region’s burgeoning wildlife markets—which sell a wide range of animals such as bats, civets, pangolins, badgers and crocodiles—are perfect viral melting pots. How China’s “Bat Woman” Hunted Down Viruses from SARS to the New Coronavirus 2020-03-11T04:00:00Z Researchers say that the suggestion that pangolins spread the coronavirus to people seems plausible — but caution that the researchers’ work is yet to be published. Coronavirus latest: Italy death toll overtakes China’s 2020-03-19T04:00:00Z Some of the bat viruses ended up with the key binding sequences from the pangolin viruses, enabling them to infect humans and unleash a pandemic. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z Several research papers by Chinese scientists have questioned the likelihood of the virus spilling over from pangolins directly to humans, noting differences in the pangolin virus and the human virus.

China’s Ban on Wildlife Trade a Big Step, but Has Loopholes, Conservationists Say 2020-02-27T05:00:00Z Further analysis of those data — alongside three other genome studies of pangolin coronaviruses — shows that although the scaly anteater is still a contender, the link is far from conclusive. Daily briefing: When a tiny lab accident almost leads to amputation 2020-02-26T05:00:00Z But it may be crucial to ending the pangolin trade, because doing so requires two things. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z The paper published Thursday in Nature examined a second set of Malayan pangolins seized from a smuggling operation and also found coronaviruses much like the ones previously studied. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z Three weeks ago, Chinese scientists suggested, on the basis of genetic analyses, that the scaly, ant-eating pangolin was the prime suspect. Mystery deepens over animal source of coronavirus 2020-02-25T05:00:00Z Untouched however, are breeding operations for traditional Chinese medicine, fur and leather, lucrative markets known to drive illegal poaching of animals including tigers and pangolins.

The race to find the source of coronavirus in wildlife 2020-02-24T05:00:00Z In the best-case scenario, it will not just be pangolins that benefit. Covid-19 – a blessing for pangolins? 2020-04-18T04:00:00Z Kristian G. Andersen of Scripps, who wrote a recent paper with other viral disease experts deciphering some aspects of the pangolin virus link, was more neutral. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z Two other papers published on 20 February, from groups in China, also studied coronaviruses from smuggled pangolins. Mystery deepens over animal source of coronavirus 2020-02-25T05:00:00Z “Some law professors have suggested ‘ecological killing’ of disease-transmitting wild animals, such as pangolins, hedgehogs, bats, snakes, and some insects,” Zhou said. Coronavirus closures reveal vast scale of China’s secretive wildlife farm industry 2020-02-24T05:00:00Z Prof Cunningham says the provenance and number of pangolins examined for the research is especially important. The race to find the source of coronavirus in wildlife 2020-02-24T05:00:00Z But pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters, are now the leading suspects. To Prevent Next Coronavirus, Stop the Wildlife Trade, Conservationists Say 2020-02-19T05:00:00Z “In my opinion, none of the data I have seen so far is suggesting that pangolins did serve as an intermediate host, however, that doesn’t mean they didn’t serve as an intermediate host,” he said. Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky 2020-03-26T04:00:00Z If pangolins are the origin of the current outbreak, says Banerjee, it is not the pangolins in these studies. Mystery deepens over animal source of coronavirus 2020-02-25T05:00:00Z Animal products, from bear bile to pangolin scales, are still used in some traditional Chinese medicine, an industry China wants to expand as part of its Belt and Road Initiative. 'Animals live for man': China's appetite for wildlife likely to survive virus 2020-02-16T05:00:00Z The pangolin, a type of scaly anteater was reported to be a possible host, according to a Chinese University.
