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 Nature’s 24 February 2026 COMMENT at the supplied URL lists 23 named coauthors, including Nada Ghosn, and says, “We are 23 of the 27 original members...”; it is not a single-author piece by Nada Ghosn. The URL also contains both submitted sentences, but they are separated by intervening text in the article, so the submission is not a continuous verbatim quote as written and would need an ellipsis.
