India is set to begin an ambitious, inter-ministerial scientific study aimed at detecting zoonotic diseases that could spill over from birds to humans, focusing on the critical intersection of human, bird, and forest health.
Of the 21 drugs that the study found effective at blocking viral replication,13 were found to have previously entered clinical trials for other indications and are effective at concentrations, or doses, that could potentially be safely achieved in Coronavirus patients.
According to the study, published in the journal Science Advances, repeated incidents appeared in much of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, northwestern Australia, along the coasts of the Red Sea, and Mexico's Gulf of California.
