This study and studies like it that make discoveries about other species that share covid with humans is invaluable to our understanding. Studies like this help us understand or determining if new variants arise only from human to humans or also from human to other species and from other species back to human.
These animal studies are excellent in that they can bring us closer to understanding how these diseases work and how possibly how variants might be formed.
From studies like these we come closer to having all the important factors set before us making way for an understanding about all the phases diseases and viruses go through. By paying attention to all the species we might see various stages of viruses that might develop evolve , or devolve that we wouldn't otherswise have seen.
