For better understanding the virus, the virologists must trace its origin and the animal host through whom it initially passed before infecting the Man. A recent study shows that 2019-nCoV would have been transmitted to the Man in the market of Wuhan starting from the snakes.

The snakes - krait Chinese and the Chinese cobra - could be the initial source of the coronavirus lately discovered which started the appearance of a respiratory disease infectious mortal in China this winter. The disease was announced for the first time at the end of December 2019 to Wuhan, a big city of the center of China, and was quickly propagated. Since then, the sick travelers of Wuhan people infected in China and in other countries, including in the United States.

Using samples of the viruses isolated from patients, Chinese scientists determined the genetic code of the virus and observed it. The pathogenic person in charge for this pandemia is new coronavirus. It belongs to the same family of virus as the coronavirus of the acute respiratory syndrome severe well known SRAS-CoV, and the coronavirus of the respiratory syndrome of the Middle East (Seas-CoV), which killed hundreds of people during 17 last years. The World Health Organization (WHO) named the new coronavirus "2019-nCoV"…
