 The study reports a new coronavirus, CoV, causing severe pneumonia and death in humans, which was found in five patients from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital in China. The virus was isolated from Bronco alveola lavage specimens and sequenced using next-generation sequencing. The results showed that the virus is a previously unknown CoV strain with 79 percent to 87.6 percent nucleotide identity with SARS CoV and MERS CoV, respectively. The virus has a single intact open reading frame gene 8, which is a characteristic of bat origin CoV-S. However, the amino acid sequence of the tentative receptor binding domain resembles that of SARS CoV, indicating that these viruses might use the same receptor. The study concludes that a new bat-borne CoV was identified that is associated with severe and fatal respiratory disease in humans.
