FigureĀ 3B indicates that the binding sites of ACE2 sequences in domestic and wild animal species show the highest number of conserved residues if considered in comparison to ACE2 of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum: the binding site of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum ACE2/SARS-CoV-2 S complex has >80% sequence identity with the binding site of domestic and wild animal species present in Italy.
