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.
Chinese Team Find Bat Virus Enters Human Cells Via Same Pathway As Covid
A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread to humans,
COVID-like bat virus discovered by researchers in same Chinese lab accused of leaking deadly 2020 outbreak: study
The virus, unearthed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, carries the risk of animal-to-human transmission, though the infection has not yet been identified in a living person, according to a study

New Coronavirus Discovered in Chinese Bats Sparks Alarm
HKU5-CoV-2 was found by a Chinese research team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as "Batwoman" for her work on coronaviruses, especially at the Wuhan Institute, which has been at the center of the theory suggesting COVID-19 came from a lab leak—something Shi has denied.
New bat Coronavirus HKU5-CoV-2 identified in China, potential risk of human transmission
The South China Morning Post reported that researchers discovered HKU5-CoV-2 can attach to human ACE2 receptors, the same pathway utilized by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
