  • CoV-2 is a close relative of SARS and MERS, with bats as its primary reservoir. (starshipnivan.com)
  • The small re-emergence of SARS in late 2003 after the resumption of the wildlife market in southern China and the recent discovery of a very similar virus in horseshoe bats, bat SARS-CoV, suggested that SARS can return if conditions are fit for the introduction, mutation, amplification, and transmission of this dangerous virus .

  • SARS-Cov-2 shares a high sequence identity (around 80%) with SARS- CoV and a 96.2% sequence identity with BatCoV RaTG13, a bat CoV [ 5 ]. (ijbs.com)
  • We also discuss the first published works on the use of the method for the detection of the nucleic acid of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including those being developed in the Russian Federation. (crie.ru)
  • However, current serology tests using whole virus antigens frequently suffer from cross reactivity issues, delays, and technical complexity, especially in low and middle income countries (LMICs) and endemic countries. (bvsalud.org)
  • Conclusions: This is the first study to report that the Chinese horseshoe bat and the Chinese whiskered bat have been found to carry novel hepadnaviruses and a novel hepevirus, respectively. (rki.de)
  • The natural host is the Chinese horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS sinicus. (bvsalud.org)
  • The hepadnaviruses were discovered in the horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus sinicus and Rhinolophus affinis, and the hepevirus was found in the whiskered bat Myotis davidii. (rki.de)
  • The company's technology is based on virus-like particles, components of viruses designed to generate immune responses against pathogen targets, but not enough to cause the disease itself. (technewslit.com)
