Researchers have discovered a bat coronavirus in China that is raising concerns, but the risk of it infecting humans is reportedly low. The post Research Team Led by Wuhan’s ‘Batwoman’ Finds Bat Coronavirus in China appeared first on Breitbart.
A research team led by Shi Zhengli, known as the "batwoman," discovered a new bat coronavirus in China, named HKU5-CoV-2. This virus targets the ACE2 receptor, similar to SARS-CoV-2, and has the potential for human-to-human or cross-species transmission. The findings were published in the journal Cell. Shi, a leading researcher from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, has faced scrutiny regarding her previous work and its possible link to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. government has expressed interest in investigating the origins of the coronavirus.
