Amid the surging cases of Omicron in several countries, there are reports of another likely variant popping up from China linked to MERS. Scientists in China have issued warnings about NeoCoV, a mutation related to the Middle East respiratory syndrome MERS-CoV that is linked to outbreaks in the Middle East in 2012 and 2015.
Found in a population of bats in South Africa and to date spread exclusively among these animals, the new warning comes on the back of a yet-to-be peer-reviewed study published in preprint on the bioRxiv website. The study discovered NeoCoV and its close relative, PDF-2180-CoV, can use some types of bat Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and human ACE2 for entry.
