New Coronavirus HKU5-CoV-2 In Bats Can Infect Human Cells Just Like COVID-19
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.
All About The New Bat Virus HKU5-CoV-2: Symptoms, How It Can Spread
Experts note that HKU5-CoV-2 has a lower binding affinity to human ACE2 than SARS-CoV-2, and its ability to infect humans on a large scale remains uncertain. More research is needed to determine if it poses a serious health threat.
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.
What Is HKU5-CoV-2? Scientists Find Bat Virus Similar To 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.
