Which mammalian species are at risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2: an ACE2 perspective

2020-05-11

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 can transmit efficiently in humans, but it is less clear what other mammalian are at high risk of being infected. SARS-CoV-2 contain a Spike (S) protein that uses mammalian ACE2 receptors to mediate cell entry, a species with a human-like ACE2 receptor is therefore at risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2. We compared between 131 mammalian ACE2 genes and 15 coronavirus S proteins. We showed that global s...
