EcoHealth Alliance, a controversial research group, earlier linked to Wuhan experiments has claimed to have found a new bat virus in Thailand that could infect humans. The discovery, presented at ...

Researchers at the Chinese lab accused of leaking the COVID-19 virus have now discovered a new coronavirus in bats that closely matches the one that led to the deadly worldwide outbreak in 2020 ...

More than a year after the novel coronavirus had spread to all corners of the globe, officially becoming a pandemic, we still don’t know where it came from (SN: 3/11/20). Many researchers agree ...

A bat coronavirus with a threonine at that spot may have infected people first and then rapidly adopted an alanine, helping the virus transmit more efficiently among people.

The virus that causes COVID-19 arrived in Wuhan, China from its place of origin too quickly for its horseshoe bat hosts to have carried it there — a dispersal pattern consistent with that of the ...

The big difference is that bats’ remarkable immune systems tame and tolerate many viruses, including the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, that cause havoc when they spread to humans.
