Khosta-2@ the coronavirus family tree

Covid-like virus lurking in bats deep in Russian caves could jump to humans, virologists warn... and it's 'completely resistant' to vaccines

• Yet never-before-seen pathogen was detected in bats swabbed in early 2020
• Khosta-2 is classified as a sarbecovirus, a branch of the coronavirus family tree

 Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV or SARS-CoV)^{[note 1]} is a species of virus consisting of many known strains phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) that have been shown to possess the capability to infect humans, bats, and certain other mammals.^[2][3] These enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses enter host cells by binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.^[4] The SARSr-CoV species is a member of the genus Betacoronavirus and of the subgenus Sarbecovirus (SARS Betacoronavirus).^[5][6]
