The lab finding does raise the possibility that this new bat virus could spread from animals to humans, researchers said in a paper published in the journal Cell

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.

Chinese scientists have discovered a new coronavirus in bats called HKU5-CoV-2. It shares similarities with SARS-CoV-2 and can infect human cells. Researchers are investigating its potential to spill over to humans.

A team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as 'Batwoman' for her work on coronaviruses, detected a new virus, HKU5-CoV-2, in bats in China.

Chinese researchers have discovered a new bat coronavirus that poses a potential risk of animal-to-human transmission. The virus uses the same cell-surface protein as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19,

CoV-2, has raised concerns due to its ability to infect human cells, much like the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the virus was identified by a team of virologists led by Shi Zhengli,

Researchers at Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Shi Zhengli, discovered a new coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, in bats. While it has potential for animal-to-human transmission, it has not yet been detected in humans,
