A team of Chinese virologists has identified a novel bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, raising fears of potential spillover into human populations. The virus, which shares similarities with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus,

CoV-2, which can enter human cells using the same gateway as the highly contagious SAR-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. However, researchers say the newly discovered germ is much less capable of rapi

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China said they discovered a new coronavirus in bats that enters cells using the same gateway as the virus that causes Covid-19.

Researchers have discovered a virus that could enter human cells in a similar way to COVID-19. But they caution it's much more poorly adapted to humans.

Covid-19 like new bat virus HKU5-CoV hasn’t been detected in humans yet. It has only been identified in a laboratory.

A study claims that a new virus has been detected in the Wuhan Lab, where the Covid-19 virus originated. Know all about HKU5-CoV-2 virus.

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have detected a new coronavirus in bats that is capable of entering human cells using the exact same mechanism as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

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,
