Konke kwenzeka ngokushesha okukhulu. Kwakungo-Agasti e-Ann Arbor, kanti u-Ariangela Kozik, Ph.D., wayesekhaya ehlaziya imininingwane ngamagciwane emaphashini eziguli ze-asthma (ilebhu yakhe yase-University of Michigan ivaliwe selokhu inkinga ye-COVID-19 ivimbe ikhempasi). Khonamanjalo, uKozik wayeqaphele igagasi lemikhankaso yokuqwashisa ngokukhanyisa ososayensi abaMnyama emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.

"Sidinga ngempela ukuba nomnyakazo ofanayo kwabaMnyama kwiMicrobiology," etshela umngane wakhe kanye nodokotela asebenza naye ngegciwane uKishana Taylor, Ph.D., owenza ucwaningo lwe-COVID eCarnegie Mellon University. Babenethemba lokulungisa ukunqanyulwa: "Ngaleso sikhathi, besivele sibona ukuthi i-COVID ibithinta ngokungalingani abantu abancane, kepha ochwepheshe ebesizizwa ngabo ezindabeni naku-inthanethi ikakhulukazi ngabamhlophe nabesilisa," kusho uKozik.

Ngokuphatha okungaphezulu kwesibambo se-Twitter (@BlackInMicro) nefomu le-Google lababhalisile, bathumele ucingo kunoma ngubani onentshisekelo yokusiza ukuhlela isonto lokuqwashisa. Uthi: “Emasontweni angu-8 alandela, sase sikhule saba abahleli namavolontiya angu-30. Ekupheleni kukaSepthemba, babambe ingqungquthela yesonto lonke enabantu abangaphezu kuka-3,600 XNUMX abavela emhlabeni wonke.

Yilowo mcabango owakhuthaza u-Kozik no-Taylor ohambweni lwabo. "Enye yezinto ezinkulu ezizophuma kulo mcimbi ukuthi sibonile ukuthi kunesidingo esikhulu sokwakha umphakathi phakathi kwezinye izazi zebhayoloji yabantu abamnyama," kusho uKozik. Ucwaninga ngamagciwane ahlala emaphashini ethu kanye nomthelela wawo ezindabeni ezifana nesifuba somoya. Yikona elaziwa kancane le-microbiome yomzimba kodwa ingaba nemiphumela emikhulu ngemuva kobhadane, uthi. “I-COVID yisifo esingena futhi sithathe indawo,” kusho uKozik. "Ingabe wonke umphakathi we-microbial wenzani lapho lokho kwenzeka?"

Inhloso kaKozik ukukhulisa ukubonakala kososayensi abaMnyama kanye nokubaluleka kocwaningo ngokujwayelekile. “Komphakathi, okunye okuthathwe kule nkinga enkulu ukuthi sidinga ukutshala imali kakhulu ocwaningweni nasekwenzeni intuthuko,” kusho yena.

Kusukela engqungqutheleni, uKozik noTaylor bebelokhu beguqula abaMnyama kwiMicrobiology baba yinhlangano kanye nehabhu lezinsiza zososayensi abanjengabo. "Impendulo evela kubahleli bethu kanye nabahlanganyeli kulo mcimbi yayiwukuthi," Nginomuzwa wokuthi senginekhaya kwezesayensi manje, "kusho uKozik. "Ithemba ukuthi esizukulwaneni esilandelayo, singasho ukuthi," Yebo, ungowalapha. '"
