Our negative findings across five viral families associated with emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases in recent decades contrast with reports of the detection of parainfluenza virus (Wang et al., 2018) , coronaviruses and Sendai virus (Liu et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2020) , and SARSr-CoVs (Lam et al., 2020; Xiao et al., 2020) in Sunda pangolins. We therefore conclude that the detections of SARS-CoV-2 related viruses in pangolins are more plausibly a result of their exposure to infected people, wildlife or other animals after they entered the trade network. ./cache/cord-258360-fqrn02lr.txt ./txt/cord-258360-fqrn02lr.txt
