New coronavirus closely linked to SARS-CoV-2 is discovered in bats in Thailand – and their antibodies can neutralise the pandemic virus
- Researchers found a new coronavirus in bats living in a Thailand cave
- It was found to be 91.55% identical to SARS-CoV-2 which causes Covid-19
- Bats had antibodies able to attack SARS-CoV-2 but virus unable to infect humans
- Researchers believe bat coronaviruses can not infect humans directly and must go to an intermediate host, like pangolins, before evolving to infect human cells
