Dr. Sue VandeWoude, a veterinary scientist and director of the One Health Institute at Colorado State University, described SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, as a “pretty promiscuous virus.”

The CSU team, led by members of the Sue VandeWoude Lab, analyzed mutation types occurring in SARS-CoV-2 after cross-species infection.

A new study from Colorado State University confirms the effectiveness of masks and hand-washing in the battle against COVID-19 before vaccines were available.
