Distinct pathways for evolution of enhanced receptor binding and cell entry in SARS-like bat coronaviruses.

Distinct pathways for evolution of enhanced receptor binding and cell entry in SARS-like bat coronaviruses.

Understanding the zoonotic risks posed by bat coronaviruses (CoVs) is critical for pandemic preparedness. Herein, we generated recombinant vesicular stomatitis viruses (rVSVs) bearing spikes from divergent bat CoVs to investigate their cell entry mechanisms. Unexpectedly, the successful recovery of...
