Comment by Raman Gangakhedkar
Public-health researcher and coauthor of the 2026 Nature commentary on COVID-19 origins
We also know that the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan had a significant role in the early transmission and initial spread of the virus. These animals could have been the intermediate hosts that brought the virus to the market, leading to the early cases in humans.Disputed (Feb 24, 2026)

The exact Nature URL contains both sentences, but they are separated in the article by additional sentences about early cases, viral lineages and wildlife species, so the submitted text is a stitched excerpt rather than a verbatim quote as written. ([nature.com](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00530-y?utm_source=openai)) The source is also a multi-author Nature Comment dated 2026-02-24 with 23 named coauthors, including Raman Gangakhedkar, so this platform cannot verify it as a quote by Raman Gangakhedkar alone.
