A team of Chinese researchers, led by 'batwoman' Shi Zhengli discovered a new bat coronavirus HKU5-Cov-2 which could potentially impact the health of human beings. HKU5-CoV-2 is a newly discovered bat coronavirus that belongs to the merbecovirus subgenus and is similar to Covid-19.

HKU5-CoV-2, a new deadly bat virus discovered at Wuhan lab, sparks global pandemic fears. Experts urge vigilance, research, and global cooperation to prevent outbreaks.

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.

CoV-2, found in China has sparked concerns among health officials and has triggered panic. HKU5-CoV-2 has similarities to the virus responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a study published in Cell.

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

On the other hand, this new found bat virus is initially found in bats in Hing Kong. Because HKU5-CoV-2 is member of Merbecovirus of beacoronaviruses unlike SARS-CoV2 which belongs to Sarbecovirus subgenus, it is genetically different from Covid-19, reported Etimes.

After Covid-19 and HMPV, a new bat coronavirus discovered in China has sparked concerns among health officials and has triggered another pandemic fear. The newly discovered virus, however, is yet to be detected in humans.

The new virus called HKU5-CoV-2, discovered in bats in China, has the potential of infecting humans. However, researchers have said that more details on animal-to-human transmission are yet to be investigated.

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have discovered a new coronavirus in bats named HKU5-CoV-2, which closely resembles the Covid-19 strain

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.

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.
