Discovery of a novel Betacoronavirus 1, cpCoV, in goats in China: The new risk of cross-species transmission. [PDF]
Betacoronavirus is a causative agent of respiratory and enteric diseases in humans and animals. Several ruminants are recognized to be intermediate hosts in the transmission of emerging coronaviruses from reservoir hosts to humans.

Detection of avian, murine, bovine, shrew, and bat coronaviruses in wild mammals from Mexico [PDF]
Coronaviruses infect a wide range of animal and human hosts. Some human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, originated in animals, with bats often serving as ancestral hosts.

Molecular Detection of Alpha- and Betacoronaviruses in Bats from Afar Region, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Bats are critical reservoirs of coronaviruses, yet gaps remain in understanding coronavirus diversity within bat populations in Eastern Ethiopia. A total of 141 bats were captured: 129 Chaerephon pumilus, 11 Epomophorus labiatus and 1 Mops condylurus. Coronaviruses detected in eight bats.

COVID-19: a perspective focus on IL-17/Th17
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (Th17) and IL-17 play an important role in the defense against extracellular bacteria and fungi; however, persistent secretion of IL-17 is also an important component in the pathogenesis of many ...

Multiple Early Introductions of SARS-CoV-2 to Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town was the first city in South Africa to experience the full impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We acquired samples from all suspected cases and their contacts during the first month of the pandemic from Tygerberg Hospital.
