Researchers are concerned over a recently discovered 'bat virus' similar to COVID-19.
New study found Khosta-2 bat virus, which can infect human cells and is resistant to Covid-19 vaccinations.
According to a study, a COVID-19-like virus detected in Russian bats can infect people and is resistant to existing vaccines.
A team of American virologists has identified a covid-like virus that is lurking in Russian bats and they fear that it is "completely resistant" to all the coronavirus vaccines available on the market. The pathogen is called Khosta-2 and it was found that it can "latch onto human cells with ease in the same way as the Covid virus." It is classified as a sarbecovirus, a member of the coronavirus family, and nothing is known about it other than the fact that it is related to SARS-CoV-2, the strain responsible for Covid.
Researchers recently discovered Khosta-2, a bat virus similar to SARS-CoV-2 that is also capable of infecting humans.
