COVID-19 Update / New case of Corona virus in Malaysia, spread from dogs to humans

Kuala Lumpur Scientists in Malaysia have detected a new coronavirus. It is believed that it originated from Coronavirus From Dogs and some people came in the grip of it many years ago. Scientists say that if confirmed, this will be the eighth virus from animals to humans. At the same time, the first virus that came from the dog, being called the best friend of man, will be. The arrival of corona virus in humans has been revealed at a time when the corona epidemic has wreaked havoc all over the world. Researchers are wondering if there are other viruses present and we have not been able to detect them yet. Dr. Gregory Gray, an epidemiologist who has worked on viruses for the past 20 years, entrusted one of his students with a powerful testing tool beyond the current investigation of the corona virus.

And their students worked together to create a tool that could look for evidence of other corona viruses. With the help of this tool, when several samples were examined last year, a possible link to the dogs was revealed. These samples were from patients at a hospital in Sarvek, Malaysia. These people were seen with pneumonia-like symptoms in the years 2017 and 2018. Most of these patients are children. Using the new tool, Gregory's team had 8 out of 301 samples infected with the corona virus from the dog. Gregory stated that it is a very high amount of corona virus inside patients. He said that this result is very remarkable. The team referred to the noted virologist Anastasia Vlasova of Ohio State University in the US to confirm their results

Anastasia said that the corona virus ingestion from dogs was never thought of before. Never before had a case like this ever surfaced. However, when Anastasia examined the genome of the corona virus, he had to agree with the research of Gregory's team. He said that much of the genome is the corona virus of the dog. Gregory said that all patients of the dog corona virus have been cured in Malaysia and no cases of human-to-human infection have been reported. In this way there is no risk of an outbreak of the corona virus from the dog.
