摘要
In recent decades,emerging and re-emerging human-infecting pathogens have been represented as huge threats to public health and have become a global concern(1).After outbreaks of two coronaviruses(CoVs),severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus(SARS-CoV)and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus(MERS-CoV),severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)became the first-known pandemic hastening CoV with tremendous wrecking to the world(2).The origin tracing of these emerging pathogens is of great significance in infectious disease prevention and control(3–4).The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains elusive after the more than 3-year pandemic,though scientists around the world are making great efforts.From the experience of studying many other infectious pathogens,origin tracing is systematic and time-consuming work.The supposed origins of many infectious pathogens are still in debate,including SARS-CoV and human immunodeficiency virus,etc(5).
