New research this month presents the dangers that occur at all times. Coronaviruses The family of the virus that caused the large outbreak of COVID-19 reported that scientists in China have found a new Coronavirus in bats that may be able to spill and infected human.
Researchers at the Wuhan Virgins Institute are leaders of education. Published Last week in the journal Jail– In the experiment in the virus laboratory, it seems that there is an important adaptation that helps to be able to infection with a variety of mammals, including humans. There are other factors that make the virus suitable for humans. But scientists say that their discovery emphasizes the importance of studying these threats.
Coronaviruses Is a wide range of viruses infected with mammals and birds, which are known as human infection These four types of viruses often cause a little cool. One causes the spread of important diseases. But short at the beginning of the 2000s (the original Sar virus); Another reason why MERONOTIC is a dangerous Zoonotic, which is often spread from camels to humans and SARS-CORONAVIRUS, which has just been discovered recently, which has caused the worst outbreak in One century Kill more than 20 million people Around the world since appearing at the end of 2019, although COVID-9 has died a lot now. Thank you for most of the vaccine, but still Kill regularly Hundreds of Americans every week
Even before the arrival of COVID-9, scientists have long been concerned about the risk of Coronaviruses Which sparked the next break because they were widely throughout the animal kingdom in 2006, researchers in Hong Kong Specify Coronavirus in the Pipistrel bat that became known as HKU5-COV. This discovery is valuable, although the virus does not have machinery that is essential to human infections easily. But Wuhan's scientists say that they now have discovered a different descent of HKU5-COV that can jump to humans, which they have called the HKU5-Cov-2.
In the research room, researchers found evidence that HKU5-Cov-2 may be infected with a variety of mammals. It did so in interacting with the protein receiving in many types of cells, called AC2 for those who follow the science of the ACE2 epidemic as the same receiver that SARS-COV-2 has been infected with our cells.
Mammals have a slightly different ACE2 model and not guaranteeing that Coronavirus infected with bats can be tied to human ACE2. But the work of the team found that the HKU5-COV-2 species can be “effective” using human Ace2 (and other ACE2 models of mammals) to enter the HKU5-COV-2 cells. Close to the MERS virus rather than SARS-COV-2 and the researchers also found evidence that the specific antibody with SARS-COV-2 may provide a little protection to HKU5-Cov-2.
However, these discovery do not mean that HKU5-COV-2 is determined to be a COVID. Importantly, there is no report of HKU5-Cov-2's human case to the present. And although the virus can spread in theory from a child of an animal to humans But it doesn't end. It can spread between people. (Most of the time is not). Sometimes the researchers identify other aspects of the newly discovered virus, which may easily be an obstacle to infection – the important point they focus.
“Due to these inappropriate factors for human adjustment, the risk of the occurrence of BTHKU5-Cov-2 in the human population should not be exaggerated.” They wrote.
However, this research shows that our fighting against infectious diseases occur in an immortality. HKU5-Cov-2 may never jump into humans, but others like it. Or not Bird fluOr other unknown germs for the next big outbreak will be set. Therefore, tracking and learning more about these threats as soon as possible, it is necessary to stop or at least cause the danger.
