Journal ArticleDOI

Cryptic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Washington state.

TL;DR: It is found that most SARS-CoV-2 infections sampled during this time derive from a single introduction in late January or early February 2020, which subsequently spread locally before active community surveillance was implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surveillance of Bat Coronaviruses in Kenya Identifies Relatives of Human Coronaviruses NL63 and 229E and Their Recombination History.

TL;DR: It is shown that the genetic diversity of bat CoVs is primarily structured by host species and subsequently by geographic distances, and that interspecies recombination may play an important role in CoV evolution and the emergence of novel CoVs with zoonotic potential.
