A special host is needed to jump from an animal to an animal and spread itself as much as possible. Most of the characteristics that are required for a virus to thrive and spread are found in bats. This is the reason why Coronavirus in bats continue to thrive and mutations

An animal has certain characteristics that are necessary for it to become an intermediate host of a virus. Like bats. In which the corona virus lives and by constantly changing itself, it can make itself more deadly …

– These things are included in the characteristics that a virus looks for in an organism. First of all, that organism should be long. According to this, bats make a good host for more and more viruses. The normal lifespan of a bat is between 16 and 40 years.

Also, the virus wants animals that live in large numbers together. So that the virus spreads itself more and more rapidly. This quality also occurs in bats.

-Virus requires close social interaction of its host organism. You can understand close social interaction by staying very close and staying in the herd.

– For the growth of the virus it is necessary that the organism has good ability to fly so that it can travel long distances at once and help the virus to spread far and wide.

 In the case of Mers, the virus came from bats into the Arabian camel and made him its natural reservoir host. The camel accidentally transmitted it to humans.

-But because the human-to-human transmission of mars does not last long. That is why in the case of Mars, Human is called Dead and Host. That is, hosts in which the virus has come to an end.

– By comparison, mars were much less harmful to camels. In comparison, SARS corona-1 in sevats (wild organism) and SARS corona-2 virus in pangolin (wild organism) are lethal (pathogenic) for them.

-Mutation: Because the corona virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, it has a lot of mutations (changes in the genome). This is why the corona virus quickly adapts to new hosts.

– It should be understood that when the mars virus made the camel its host, it adopted it and survived it. But when he came to humans after jumping, he could not adapt them as his host and it ended.

Based on the separate research conducted so far in the case of Kovid-19, it is coming out that the mutations in SARS corona-2 have been found less than the normal corona virus.

It is being speculated that this virus has been introduced into humans. That is, it has adopted man as its host.

-If these research proves to be correct then it can be good news for our scientists. Because the vaccines and antiviral drugs that our scientists are developing to treat this virus, they will remain effective for a long time.

Ever since the Corona Virus Outbrek occurred, there have been speculations that the virus has come from bats into humans. After some time, it has been proved that the genome of SARS corona virus-2 closely resembles the corona virus found in bats. But it is not 100 percent like that. Then further exploration began.

Chimera and Chimera is called the virus that is the third virus that has evolved from two viruses. Chimera has the properties of both primary viruses but does not completely match either. The same thing is applicable to Corona Virus.

It may happen that two different viruses, which have developed corona, have both infected one organism at the same time. The two viruses then combined to form a new virus and this third virus, ie Kamera, developed the ability to infect new and different species of organisms.

Since the outbreak of the corona virus. Since then, many new types of viruses have been identified in bats and pangolins. During this time it was found that 96 percent of the genome of the novel corona virus matches that corona virus which is found inside bats.

This suggests that bats may be reservoir of corona virus. That is, this virus can accumulate in bats for a long time. While the corona virus the world currently suffers from, its genome matches 99 percent of the corona virus genome found in pangolins.

This has led experts to speculate that the SARS corona virus-2 may be a third virus composed of viruses found in both bats and pangolins. Viruses found in both of these have infected another animal simultaneously and developed its third form.

However, that third animal has not yet been identified. But experts are working very fast in this direction. While it is quite clear that this virus has originated in an animal itself, but it is very effective in spreading infection in humans.

There are many symptoms of corona, which are helpful in spreading it as a major epidemic. Such as the presence of spikey proteins on the upper surface of the corona virus, which help the virus to enter the body’s cells. After reaching the body through these spikey cells, it easily attaches itself to organ cells.

Corona virus has been showing its effect since before. But SARS Corona Virus-2’s ability to attach itself to human organisms of spikey proteins is many times better than other corona viruses. Most respiratory viruses affect upper or lower airways. But SARS corona virus-2 infects both upper and lower airways.

The most dangerous thing about this virus is that the virus spreads rapidly to other people without showing signs of infection. For this reason, it is very difficult to identify an infected person at the initial level and the virus spreads rapidly in other people.
