The study, jointly conducted by researchers from South China Agricultural University and related scientific research institutes, will be of great significance to prevention and control of the source of novel coronavirus. The study, announced at a press conference on Friday, analyzed more than 1,000 metagenomic samples by researchers. Through molecular biological testing, it revealed the positive rate of beta coronavirus in pangolins was 70 percent. By further isolating and identifying the virus, electron microscopy shows a typical coronavirus particle structure in pangolins, according to the study. Researchers found genomic sequence similarities between the isolated virus strain and the currently infected human strain to be as high as 99 percent. \hope the study will be helpful for scientific prevention and control of the disease, as well as providing references for further scientific research,\said Liu Yahong, president of South China Agricultural University. 1. What might be a potential intermediate host of the novel coronavirus according to
the latest research? And why?
The pangolin might be a potential intermediate host of the novel coronavirus,. Because genome sequences of the disease strain separated from the animals were 99 percent identical to those found in infected people. 2. What is the significance of the latest research result?
the study will be helpful for scientific prevention and control of the disease, as well as providing references for further scientific research.
