Australian virologist Eddie Holmes co-authored a study that has identified a Wuhan wet market as the likely epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. Professor Holmes visited the market in 2014 and recognised the risk of virus transmission between animals and humans and suggested taking some samples. His research pinpoints a few square metres where the virus is likely to have been transmitted between animals and humans.Disputed (Aug 13, 2022)

The ABC source URL does contain the submitted text verbatim as the three sentences in the article’s “Key points” section, and the page is dated Sat 13 Aug 2022. ([abc.net.au](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-13/profile-professor-eddie-holmes-virus-hunter-covid-19/101324738)) However, the byline on that same page is Samantha Hawley and Flint Duxfield for ABC News Daily, not Samantha Hawley alone. ([abc.net.au](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-13/profile-professor-eddie-holmes-virus-hunter-covid-19/101324738)) Because this is a multi-author article rather than a single-author or named-document quote, the attribution is not canonical for one person, so under the stated rules this must be marked disputed with no correction.
