Ecological disruptions and wildlife trade have been identified as significant factors in promoting cross-species transmission (Segments 12, 41, 309, 323,326, 362,364, Supplementary 11), as well as dense cave populations (Segments 324, 325, Supplementary 11), which create an ideal condition for viral evolution and spillover.

Disputed The sentence does appear verbatim in the PDF at the supplied URL, in the March 9, 2026 article “COVID-19 Origins: A Mixed-Methods Meta-Analysis of Scientific Consensus and Political Narratives.” However, the source credits many coauthors— including O.O. Samsudeen—rather than a single author, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote attributed only to “Samsudeen O.” ([opencovidjournal.com](https://opencovidjournal.com/VOLUME/6/ELOCATOR/e26669587424966/PDF/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1h ago
