Abstract excerpt
Bats are the reservoir for numerous human pathogens including coronaviruses. The factors leading to the emergence and sustained transmission of coronaviruses in humans are poorly understood. An outstanding question is how coronaviruses can accomplish a host switch with a likely mismatch between the surface protein spike of a bat virus and the human cellular receptor at the time of zoonotic virus transmission.
