Khosta-2 lacks some of the genes that are believed to be involved in the human infection process, but there is a risk of it recombining with a second virus.

It has been shown that the sarbecovirus Khosta-2 identified in Russia interacts with the same entry receptor as the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A new coronavirus discovered in Russian bats has prompted experts to push for an immediate attempt to create a broad vaccination. They warn that if a lethal wildlife disease spreads to humankind, it may very well spark a whole other disease outbreak.

The latest news, data, and expert insights on the COVID-19 pandemic, including cases, deaths, variants, vaccines and boosters, testing and treatment.

Researchers suggest that the spike proteins found from the bat virus are able to infect human cells and are resistant to monoclonal antibodies and existing COVID-19 vaccinations.

A novel coronavirus found in Russian bats has scientists calling for an urgent effort in generalized vaccine development. Otherwise, they caution, another pandemic might be triggered by a deadly animal virus spilling over to humans.

Researchers at Washington State University are raising concerns over the discovery of a virus with some of the same characteristics as COVID-19.

Researchers are concerned over a recently discovered 'bat virus' similar to COVID-19.
