CoV-2, discovered in China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, raises concerns due to its potential to infect human cells like SARS-CoV-2. However, experts say it poses no major public health threat as its ability to spread among humans is significantly weaker.

HKU5-CoV-2, a new deadly bat virus discovered at Wuhan lab, sparks global pandemic fears. Experts urge vigilance, research, and global cooperation to prevent outbreaks.

China has discovered a new coronavirus in bats that can enter the human body like Covid-19. The new virus, HKU5-CoV, hasn't been detected in humans yet but has been identified in a laboratory

Researchers have discovered a virus that could enter human cells in a similar way to COVID-19. But they caution it's much more poorly adapted to humans.

CoV-2, which can enter human cells using the same gateway as the highly contagious SAR-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. However, researchers say the newly discovered germ is much less capable of rapi

HKU5-CoV-2, belongs to the merbecovirus subgenus, which includes the Mers virus. This newly isolated strain can bind to the ACE2 receptor in human cells, the same pathway used by the Covid-19 virus.

Experts note that HKU5-CoV-2 has a lower binding affinity to human ACE2 than SARS-CoV-2, and its ability to infect humans on a large scale remains uncertain. More research is needed to determine if it poses a serious health threat.

After Covid-19 and HMPV, a new bat coronavirus discovered in China has sparked concerns among health officials and has triggered another pandemic fear. The newly discovered virus, however, is yet to be detected in humans.

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have discovered a new coronavirus in bats named HKU5-CoV-2, which closely resembles the Covid-19 strain

The new virus called HKU5-CoV-2, discovered in bats in China, has the potential of infecting humans. However, researchers have said that more details on animal-to-human transmission are yet to be investigated.
