Leeches Can Apparently Detect Corona Virus, Here's the Plan Scientists Utilize Leeches

News24xx.com - The researchers' findings now suggest that leeches can prevent coronavirus in the future. These blood-sucking animals are said to be able to predict the existence of viruses that are transmitted from animals to humans, including coronaviruses.

Scientists from the University of East Anglia explained that the latest biotechnology method was successfully revealed. Research leader, Professor Doughlas Yu has examined 30 thousand leeches in five years to find out the presence of wild animals affected by the virus.

Yu said, when leeches suck wild animals' blood, they can know the condition of these animals. After being sucked, the DNA from the blood is extracted to find out the animals that it sucks, like deer, monkeys, even various types of birds.

Quoted from the South China Morning Post, the study made Yu believe leeches could prevent future outbreaks of COVID-19.

"Our team is ready for that. We have provided a methodology to anticipate it. The same method can also be applied to detect wildlife (virus carriers)," Yu said.

With this research, humans can make anticipations from prevention to antivirus predictions for the coronavirus. So that the virus does not spread from animals to humans or between humans.
