RADIO CANADA 05/09/03 Le virus du SRAS provient bel et bien de la civette

.."Les scientifiques ont constaté que les deux virus étaient génétiquement similaires à 99,8 %."

Dommage que ce ne soit pas à 99, 999 %

Quelqu'un de la liste pourrait-il nous donner des précisions ?

A la lecture du message de M Moreau ci-dessus, je n'ai pu lire la page canadienne qui est consacré à ce virus et à la civette, mais je trouve tout de même extraordinaire qu'on puisse accuser la civette de cette responsabilité..... ce virus au départ vient bien de qq part et par ailleurs, peut on être sur que la civette seulement propagerait ce virus ?

Pour réflexions, et merci si on peut en savoir un peu plus.....

SARS coronavirus from market animals unlikely to be source of SARS outbreak
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A paper by Y Guan and colleagues, entitled "Isolation and characterization of viruses related to the SARS coronavirus from animals in southern China" has been published online in Sciencexpress, 4 Sep 2003.* The Abstract states that: "A novel coronavirus (SCoV) is the etiological agent of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. SCoV-like viruses were isolated from Himalayan palm civets found in a live animal market in Guangdong, China.

Evidence of virus infection was also detected in other animals, including a raccoon-dog, and in humans working at the same market. All the animal isolates retain a 29-nucleotide sequence, which is not found in most human
isolates. The detection of SCoV-like viruses in small wild mammals in a live retail market indicates a route of inter-species transmission, although the natural reservoir is not known."

........................................

[Phylogenetic analysis showed
that] the human and animal viruses [form distinct clusters], which makes it highly unlikely that the isolation of SCoV-like viruses in these wild animals is due to the transmission of SCoV from human to animals.

"Our findings suggest that the markets provide a venue for the animal SCoV-like viruses to amplify and transmit to new hosts, including humans, and this is critically important from the point of view of public health.
It is not, however, clear whether any one or more of these animals are the natural reservoir in the wild. It is conceivable that civets, raccoon dogs, and ferret badgers were all infected from another as-yet-unknown animal
source that is in fact the true reservoir in nature. However, because of the culinary practices of southern China, these market animals may be intermediate hosts that increase the opportunity for transmission of infection to humans.

"Further extensive surveillance on animals will help to better understand the animal reservoir in nature and the inter-species transmission events that led to the origin of the SARS outbreak."
