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.

A newly identified coronavirus in China might emerge and have the potential to spread through humans. Similar to the early days of Covid, researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology discovered a new strain within bats.

Chinese researchers have discovered a Covid-like virus in bats that could spread to humans. Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China say the new virus enters cells using the same gateway as 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,

A research team led by "bat lady" Shi Zhengli found a new bat strain of coronavirus, which could pose a potential threat on humans. Read on to know whether it could lead to another pandemic.
