3.3 Possible hypothesis
The hypothesis was substantial enough necessitating a full descriptive
cycle diagram. Therefore, figure 5 provides a hypothesis about the
possible ways that I. uriae ticks can use to transmit SARS-CoV-2
to humans. In relation to the evolution of host specificity and local
adaptation of ticks (Klompen, Black, Keirans, & Oliver, 1996), permits
us to form the described potential hypothesis that remains to be
scientifically proven.
