Researchers say the bat virus, named Khosta-2, can infect human cells and is resistant to the antibodies of people who’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19.

Is the next pandemic on the horizon? Scientists are warning of a new, COVID-like virus called Khosta-2 originating from a Russian bat.

Even as the world crawls out of a nearly 2-year-long pandemic, scientists have flagged another potential threat to public health in a virus that could potentially resist existing Covid-19 vaccines.

A recently discovered virus in a Russian bat that is similar to SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19, is likely capable of infecting humans and, if it were to spillover, is resistant to current vaccines.

Researchers at Washington State University discovered a new COVID-like virus in Russian bats that, if it infected humans, would resist current vaccines.

Researchers recently discovered Khosta-2, a bat virus similar to SARS-CoV-2 that is also capable of infecting humans.

According to the latest research, the Khosta-2 virus can evade the effects of the current vaccines. COVID-19 cases have been steadily dropping over the past months worldwide, yet there's another threat that could strike fear in humans.

Researchers have discovered a virus in Russian bats that might pose complications for the human population.

A new multi-institutional study has found that Khosta-2, a virus that was identified in 2020 among bats in Russia, can infect human cells; these findings are significant as both SARS-CoV-2 and Khosta-2 are sarbecoviruses, a sub-category of coronaviruses.
