A research team at a top university in Thailand are investigating to see if blood from monitor lizard could be used to combat cancer and\u00a0coronavirus.<\/p>\n
The protected species have powerful immune systems, living in polluted waters and consuming decaying flesh, and scientists say they want to unlock their secrets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Associate professor Jitkamol Thanasak, a lecturer at Mahidol University\u2019s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, is leading the team studying the characteristics of proteins that form part of the lizard\u2019s immune defence.<\/p>\n
They were granted permission from the government to collect blood samples from water monitors due to their protected species status.<\/p>\n
Researchers found that the proteins inhibited the growth of cancer cells and some bacteria.<\/p>\n
They speculate that this effect may also extend to suppressing viruses, including Covid – although this is not currently known.<\/p>\n
\n
The next step is to confirm that the blood constituents inhibit certain types of cancer cells and bacteria, but do not affect healthy cells in the human body.<\/p>\n
They expect to complete their initial study on water monitors\u2019 blood by the end of 2021, and then test whether it can also combat influenza, avian flu and Covid-19.<\/p>\n
Professor Thanasak said his team only take a minimal amount of blood from the animals which are then released back into the wild.<\/p>\n
He has an ambitious vision of the benefits the creatures may bring humanity, saying monitor lizard blood offers \u201can alternative source of hope for mankind”.<\/p>\n
The professor obtained his doctorate in Bovine Management at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
His previous research covered bovine medicine, milk production and monitor lizards.<\/p>\n
\n
Just last month a monitor lizard was caught on camera when it\u00a0climbed the shelves of a supermarket\u00a0in Nakhon Pathom in Thailand.<\/p>\n
The massive reptile had climbed out of a nearby canal before crawling into the 7-eleven.<\/p>\n
Staff and customers hid behind the counter while the animal climbed onto shelves and tossed several cartons of milk onto the ground.<\/p>\n
A worried shop assistant called the police who arrived with reptile handlers to snare the lizard and return him to the wild.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
