A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro.

TL;DR: This study evaluated the antiviral efficiency of five FAD-approved drugs including ribavirin, penciclovir, nitazoxanide, nafamostat, chloroquine and two well-known broad-spectrum antiviral drugs remdesivir and favipiravir against a clinical isolate of 2019-nCoV in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and serological investigation of 2019-nCoV infected patients: implication of multiple shedding routes.

TL;DR: Investigation on patients in a local hospital who were infected with a novel coronavirus found the presence of 2019-nCoV in anal swabs and blood, and more anal swab positives than oral swabs positives in a later stage of infection, suggesting shedding and thereby transmitted through oral–fecal route.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and characterization of a bat SARS-like coronavirus that uses the ACE2 receptor

TL;DR: These results provide the strongest evidence to date that Chinese horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV, and that intermediate hosts may not be necessary for direct human infection by some bat SL-CoVs, and highlight the importance of pathogen-discovery programs targeting high-risk wildlife groups in emerging disease hotspots.
