We could actually take these 99 different viruses, look at them and compare them, and we could see, actually, compared to three genomes that had been previously published from Guinea, we could show that the outbreak emerged in Guinea months before, once into the human population, and from there had been transmitting from human to human.
Potevamo davvero prendere questi 99 virus diversi, guardarli e paragonarli, potevamo davvero vedere, rispetto ai tre genomi precedentemente pubblicati in Guinea, potevamo mostrare che l'epidemia era emersa in Guinea mesi prima, prima negli esseri umani, e che da lì si era trasmessa da uomo a uomo.
