Where did SARS-CoV-2 come from?
Although evidence points towards a bat origin for SARS-CoV-2, the transmission route of the virus from bats to humans remains unknown. We recently analyzed existing evidence to propose possible scenarios that may explain how SARS-CoV-2 evolved to cause the largest known coronavirus pandemic in humans.

Dr. Karen Mossman and Dr. Arinjay Banerjee of McMaster University (https://www.mcmaster.ca) were part of the Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto and McMaster teams that isolated SARS-CoV-2 the agent responsible for the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. They are currently leading studies in virus-host responses.
