TL;DR: It is reported for the first time that only a small proportion of MERS-CoV receptor-binding domain positive (RBD) of spike protein positive camel sera in Kenya were also seropositive to MSPV nucleocapsid (NP), raising the possibility of the circulation of a recombinant coronavirus virus with the spike of MESV and the NP in Kenya.

TL;DR: A highly diverse group of hepaciviruses discovered in the Asian house shrews captured in Shenzhen city, China are named as Suncus murinus hepacvirus (SmHCV), suggesting that these mammals play an important role as a reservoir for viruses.

TL;DR: A novel MERS-like coronavirus in Malayan pangolins, named Manis javanica HKU4-related CoV (MjHKU4r-CoV), was reported in this article .

TL;DR: Whole genome sequence analysis of five selected viral strains showed that these viruses are closely related to WENVs discovered in Asia and form an independent branch in the phylogenetic tree in the WENV clade.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the identification of a novel lineage of SARS-CoV-2 related viruses, including RaTG15 and seven other viruses, from bats at the same location where they found RaTG13 in 2015.
