NEW DELHI, Oct 1 (Xinhua): A newly-conducted research has found three viruses from bats in Laos, which are more similar than any known viruses to Covid-19, India Today reported recently.
The research, published in preprint server Research Square, could forward the theory of origins of the Covid-19 from an animal and then transmitting into humans via zoonosis.
However, the new discovery also raises concerns among the scientific community about the presence of more such viruses in nature with the capability to jump to humans.
