MIGRATORY BIRDS MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO SARS-CoV-2 SPREAD

Team bioXone.in

The sporadic increase of nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) aroused widespread concern about the associated morbidity and mortality. The scientific community is also worried about the developing ways that could help propagate the spread of the virus. So, the research to date gathered up to a review suggests that birds, being migratory, perching, and also possessing a very sophisticated selective adaptive immune system can be a major zoonotic vector for the virus. The wild bird species like Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Galliformes, Psittaciformes, Accipitriformes, Ciconiiformes, Gruiformes, and so on. 

The main type of Coronavirus found is gamma coronavirus, followed by the delta coronavirus. Sequencing of the conserved Orf1 PCR amplicons found that Australian duck gamma coronaviruses were similar to duck gamma coronaviruses around the world. It is imperative to enforce thorough research in this aspect. Many lineages within the Delta coronavirus obtained from shorebirds were similar to the ones obtained from ruddy turnstone. Thus the hypothesis suggests that migratory birds are important vectors of Coronavirus.
