ITHACA, New York, May 5 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A Cornell study of the structure of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, reveals a unique feature that could explain why it is so transmissible between people. The Cornell group also notes that - aside from primates - cats, ferrets and mink are the animal species apparently most susceptible to the human virus.
