Another deadly epidemic like corona virus coming from rats, world be ready: experts

London
There is another bad news for the world battling the Corona pandemic. Experts have warned that animals like rats, squirrels can be carriers of viruses like corona. He said that in this way the next epidemic could come from rats. Experts from Princeton University said that genomic studies of many organisms have been done. Evidence has been found in this that some rat-like species have already been hit by corona virus like SARS. This has created some immunity in those organisms.

Corona virus infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus which is animal-borne. This means that the corona virus has come from animals to humans. Earlier in another research, it was found that many types of SARS-like viruses can live in Chinese bats. Its symptoms are not even visible inside bats. He said that there is some immunity inside this type of virus which can prove to be very important to prevent any epidemic in future.

Building immunity in mice
The research was carried out by Princeton University molecular biologist Sean King and computer scientist Mona Singh. He said that our research shows that corona virus like SARS has been infected many times in ancient rats. Due to this, immunity has been built up in them. The researchers also researched the ACE2 receptor of various organisms, which is used by the SARS virus to enter cells.

It should be noted that diseases borne by animals are easily transmitted from one species to another. Its bacteria survive by entering other species of organisms. However, they become less dangerous by moving to the second organism than the first. A great example of this is the common cold, which has passed through various organisms to humans and persists there as well. Its strains H5N1, H7N9 originated from birds and infected humans.
