4 FINAL REMARKS
The possibilities of ticks to transmit the virus was hypothesized. Proving or disproving this hypothesis for the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 might be possible. Since, such viruses may be asymptomatic in their hosts, but the balance may be tipped over, and overt disease or behavioural aberrations may occur due to ecosystem and climate alterations. In some instances, such viruses may cross a species barrier and affect other tick species, wildlife species, domestic animals and humans. Nonetheless, isolation of coronavirus-like from a range of animals, including ticks may possibly assist to clarify the steps to emergence in humans. Therefore, the role of ticks to transmit the virus needs more attention. These could lead to more efficient measures to block the rise of another coronavirus epidemic with persistent transmission in humans.
