Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in environment and animal samples of the Huanan Seafood Market

Emerging in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) eventually became a pandemic and has posed a tremendous threat to global public health. However, the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, remain to be determined. It has been reported that a certain number of the early case clusters had a contact history with the Huanan Seafood Market. Therefore, surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 within the market is of vital importance. Herein, we presented the metagenomics sequencing for environment samples of the Huanan Seafood Market.

2019年12月首次出现的2019冠状病毒病（coronavirus disease 2019，COVID-19）最终发展为全球大流行疫情，对全球公共卫生构成了巨大威胁。然而，引发COVID-19的病原体严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）的起源仍有待确定。据报道，早期多起病例聚集性疫情与华南海鲜市场存在接触史，因此对该市场内的SARS-CoV-2开展监测至关重要。本文提供了华南海鲜市场环境样本的宏基因组测序（metagenomics sequencing）数据。
