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 The quote text appears verbatim in web search results for the Nature URL, and the Nature page shows the article date as 2026-02-24. But the source is a multi-author Nature Comment, "COVID’s origins: what we do and don’t know," credited to 23 named authors; Supaporn Wacharapluesadee is listed as one coauthor, not as the sole speaker/author of that passage. Because this platform verifies single-author attributions, the stored attribution to Supaporn Wacharapluesadee alone is disputed. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 21h ago
