Beijing: Another virus similar to Covid, which is capable of being transmitted to humans, has been discovered in bats in China.
According to the details, the threat of another virus like Corona has arisen in China. Scientists say that a virus like Covid has been discovered in bats in South China, which is capable of being transmitted to humans.
The virus, known as BtSY2, is closely related to SARS-CoV-2, which caused the global coronavirus pandemic and threatens to spread.
Scientists say it is one of five ‘viruses of concern’ found in bats in China’s Yunnan province, which have the potential to be transmitted to humans or livestock.
Researchers have warned of a wave of new ‘zoonotic’ diseases, which are transmitted from animals to humans, after the virus emerged.
The team said they identified five viruses capable of transmitting to humans or livestock, including one closely related to SARS-CoV-2 and 50 to SARS-CoV.
