Abstract excerpt
Malayan pangolins are unusual hosts for several SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, which have previously been known to only infect Rhinolophus bats. Much debate has hence surrounded their possible role as intermediate hosts in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, but the virological phenotypes of most pangolin coronaviruses (pCoVs) remain unclear. Here, we comprehensively analyze all pCoVs to date identified from...
