Description:

Quote: Recently, the team led by Dr.
Zhengli Shi from Wuhan Institute
of Virology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, and Dr. Peter Daszak
from Ecohealth Alliance identified
SL-CoVs in Chinese horseshoe
bats that were 95% identical to
human SARS-CoV and were able
to use human angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor for
docking and entry. Remarkably,
they isolated the first known live
bat SL-CoV that replicates in human
and related cells. Their findings
provide clear evidence that some
SL-CoVs circulating in bats are
capable of infecting and replicating
in human (Ge X Y, et al., 2013).
