Will It Be the Next Pandemic? Bat Coronavirus Infiltrates Human Cells via New Route; International Joint Research Team Publishes Results in Nature; No Evidence of Human Transmission Yet. The study suggests the possibility that alphacoronaviruses, primarily found in bats, may infiltrate human cells using a previously unknown new pathway.

A corona virus in East African bats can infect human lung cells, a research team finds out. Thus there is the risk of transmission to humans. First tests of the local population in Kenya are negative, however.

The identification of a receptor that is recognized by a subset of alphacoronaviruses provides insights into ‘spillover’ risk and pandemic potential. The identification of a receptor that is recognized by a subset of alphacoronaviruses provides insights into ‘spillover’ risk and pandemic potential.
Alphacoronavirus KY43: Scientists Flag New Bat Virus With Pandemic Potential
A newly identified bat virus is drawing attention from global health researchers after early findings suggested it may have the ability to infect human cells. The virus, known as Alphacoronavirus KY43, was discovered in bat populations across East Africa and is now being closely studied for its potential pandemic risk. The research, published in Nature, does not suggest an imminent outbreak. But it does highlight a growing reality in modern epid…
