A scientist swabs the muzzle of a tricolored bat in a cave in Tennessee. The bat virome is the group of viruses associated with bats.Bats host a diverse array of viruses, including all seven types described by the Baltimore classification system: (I) double-stranded DNA viruses; (II) single-stranded DNA viruses; (III) double-stranded RNA viruses; (IV) positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses ...
The most similar known viruses to SARS-CoV-2 include bat coronaviruses RpYN06 with 94.5% identity, [15] and RmYN02 with 93% identity [18] RaTG13 was not the direct progenitor of SARS-CoV-2. [19] Temmam et al. found no serological evidence for exposure to BANAL-52 among bat handlers and guano collectors in the area of Laos where it was sampled ...

Between 2012 and 2015, Shi Zhengli and her group isolated 293 different coronaviruses (284 alpha-and 9 beta-coronaviruses) from bat feces samples in the cave. One of the samples collected in 2013 from Rhinolophus affinis (the intermediate horseshoe bat) contained a novel sequence of ribonucleic acids later identified as "RaTG13". [3] [13]
The betacoronaviruses of the greatest clinical importance concerning humans are OC43 and HKU1 (which can cause the common cold) of lineage A, SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 (the causes of SARS and COVID-19 respectively) of lineage B, [2] and MERS-CoV (the cause of MERS) of lineage C. MERS-CoV is the first betacoronavirus belonging to lineage C that ...
You can keep breastfeeding or pumping milk while you have COVID-19. Experts share their tips to make the process as safe as possible. 5 tips to breastfeed safely when you have COVID-19
Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
