According to a study, researchers in Guangzhou, China, suggested that pangolins - long-snouted, ant-eating mammals often used in traditional Chinese medicine - are the potential intermediate host of SARS-CoV-2 based on 99% genetic homology in a CoV discovered in pangolins and SARS-CoV-2.

根据一项研究,中国广州的研究人员认为,鉴于在穿山甲——一种长吻食蚁兽,经常用于中药——中发现的一种 CoV 与 SARS-CoV-2 具有 99% 的基因同源性,因此认为穿山甲是 SARS-CoV-2 的潜在中间宿主。
