What the swab results don't do is confirm that the raccoon dogs or other animals were actually infected with the virus or that they were the animals that first spread it to people. If a genetic sequence of the virus could be extracted from such an animal, Crits-Christoph says, it may be possible to tell whether a progenitor of the pandemic virus had been evolving in an animal host. The raccoon dog does not look particularly threatening. the small mammal resembles those familiar masked trash bandits that inspired its name, although it is most closely related to foxes. The animal evidence from the swabs does give scientists a better idea of where to look next for animals closer to the origin of the virus, Crits-Christoph says. [Extracted from the article]
