🚨 New preprint alert 🚨

We searched for the presence of coronaviruses in >200 bat individuals across Spain 🦠🦇. We recovered 6 complete coronavirus genomes, including 3 novel species. One of them could use bat and human ACE2 for entry.

Couldn’t find a virology starter pack so here’s one to get the ball rolling. Repost/reply if you are a virologist so I can find and add you to the list!
