TL;DR: This study surveyed the diversity of CoVs in multiple host taxa from twenty countries to explore the factors driving viral diversity at a global scale and identified sequences representing 100 discrete phylogenetic clusters found in bats, and used ecological and epidemiologic analyses to show that patterns of CoV diversity correlate with those of bat diversity.

TL;DR: It is discovered that the number of zoonotic viruses detected in mammalian species scales positively with global species abundance, suggesting that virus transmission risk has been highest from animal species that have increased in abundance and even expanded their range by adapting to human-dominated landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The discovery of Bombali virus adds further support for bats as hosts of ebolaviruses

TL;DR: It is shown that the viral glycoprotein can mediate entry into human cells, and whether exposure has actually occurred or if BOMV is pathogenic in humans is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spillover and pandemic properties of zoonotic viruses with high host plasticity
Christine K. Johnson,Peta L. Hitchens,Tierra Smiley Evans,Tracey Goldstein,Kate Thomas,Andrew Clements,Damien O. Joly,Nathan D. Wolfe,Peter Daszak,William B. Karesh,Jonna A.K. Mazet +10 more
TL;DR: The animal hosts and transmission mechanisms involved in spillover of zoonotic viruses to date are examined, and it is found that viruses with high host plasticity were more likely to amplify viral spillover by secondary human-to-human transmission and have broader geographic spread.
