Bat-Origin Coronaviruses Expand Their Host Range to Pigs.

Abstract excerpt

Infections with bat-origin coronaviruses have caused severe illness in humans by 'host jump'. Recently, novel bat-origin coronaviruses were found in pigs. The large number of mutations on the receptor-binding domain allowed the viruses to infect the new host, posing a potential threat to both agriculture and public health.
