New bat coronavirus discovered in China sparks pandemic concerns
The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns of another pandemic. The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, is similar to to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Discovery of potential pandemic virus in China raises global health concerns
Researchers in China have discovered a new coronavirus in bats that they say has the potential to spread to humans, after the world was recently hit by the COVID-19 pandemic
China discovers new bat coronavirus that poses risk of animal-to-human transmission
A Chinese team discovered a new bat coronavirus that poses a risk of animal-to-human transmission as it uses the same human receptor as the COVID-19 virus, a Hong Kong daily reported on Thursday, citing the latest study.
New bat coronavirus HKU5-CoV-2 identified in China: Does it pose a risk to humans?
The study found that HKU5-CoV-2 contains a furin cleavage site, a feature that enhances viral entry into cells via the ACE2 receptor. In laboratory experiments, the virus was able to infect human cells with high ACE2 levels, including models of human intestines and airways.
Covid returns? China finds new bat coronavirus with animal-to-human transmission risk: Report
A media report underscores that the virus, found by a Chinese team of virologists, uses the same human receptor as the virus that causes Covid-19.
Another pandemic looming? New bat coronavirus capable of human transmission discovered in China
This newly isolated strain can bind to the ACE2 receptor in human cells, the same pathway used by the Covid-19 virus.
New bat coronavirus capable of infecting humans like COVID-19 in China
HKU5-CoV-2 virus has less binding affinity to human ACE2 compared to SARS-CoV-2. Also, other suboptimal factors for human adaptation have suggested the “risk of emergence in human populations should not be exaggerated”.
Why a New Bat Coronavirus in China Is Raising Concern
Scientists at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology recently reported the discovery of another bat-borne coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which is capable of entering cells using human ACE2 — the same receptor that played a critical role in the devastating spread of Covid-19.
New bat coronavirus with ‘concerning’ traits found by Chinese researchers
A new bat coronavirus found in China should be monitored “very, very carefully” because it attacks human cells in the same way as Covid-19, virologists have warned.
Chinese researchers find bat virus enters human cells via same pathway as COVID
A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread to humans,
Another bat virus discovered from China—Here’s what makes HKU5-CoV-2 different from COVID-19
A team of Chinese researchers has discovered a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which has the potential to infect human cells. The virus, linked to the same family as MERS, was found to bind to human ACE2 receptors,
