David Rasmussen

David Rasmussen is a virologist based in North Carolina, known for his research on coronaviruses and their transmission to humans. He has contributed to studies investigating the origins of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing the role of genetic recombination in creating hybrid viruses capable of human transmission. His insights suggest that the emergence of these viruses is an ongoing concern linked to wildlife trade and urban animal markets.
