研究人员发现了类似于COVID-19的新的蝙蝠冠状病毒,引起对流行病预防的关注。 Researchers discover new bat coronavirus similar to COVID-19, raising pandemic prevention concerns.

中国研究人员发现了一种新的蝙蝠冠状病毒HKU5-COV-2,它可以与SARS-COV-2、COVID-19背后的病毒等相同的人体受体结合。 Chinese researchers have found a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which can bind to the same human receptor as SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. 这引起了对人类潜在外溢效应的关切,尽管人们注意到,病毒的可传播性大大低于SARS-CoV-2。 This raises concerns about potential spillover to humans, though the virus's transmissibility is noted to be significantly lower than SARS-CoV-2. 这一发现突出表明,需要不断监测和了解冠状病毒,以防止今后发生流行病。 The discovery emphasizes the ongoing need to monitor and understand coronaviruses to prevent future pandemics.
