The Stomach Morphology and Contents of the Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla)

Journal of Zoo Biology, 2020
To better understand the critically endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla)’s adaptation to highly specialized prey, and to enrich the acknowledge of this species’ natural dietary, we performed anatomic observation and contents analysis on the stomach of an accidental death of Chinese pangolin.

Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 Related Coronaviruses Circulating in Sunda pangolins (Manis javanica) Confiscated From the Illegal Wildlife Trade in Viet Nam

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Despite the discovery of several closely related viruses in bats, the direct evolutionary progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been identified. In this study, we investigated potential animal sources of SARS-related coronaviruses using archived specimens
