Bats in the United Kingdom have been discovered to harbour a virus capable of infecting the surface of human cells.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Scientists conducted the testing using bat droppings from 16 bats living in the U.K. The fecal matter was screened for viruses; nine viruses were discovered.
The viruses were designated RhGB07 and RfGB02 and hail from the same family of pathogens as SARS-CoV-2. However, even a single mutation to the RhGB07 spike protein could change the scenario, and not in a good way..The involved scientists were quick to reassure the public that no “gain of function” research was involved and no live virus was used.Article content
