T204 |
1061-1176 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The two CoV_BtRtBetaCoV/GX2018 sequences retrieved from different bats were 1.2 per cent different from each other. |
T205 |
1177-1304 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The effect of host influence on the nt usage of the virus cannot be denied; however, it needs to be explored further in detail. |
T206 |
1305-1422 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Bats are reservoirs for viruses with human pathogenic potential2829, and are known to harbour a broad range of CoVs1. |
T207 |
1423-1611 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The global distribution of bats, along with the different types of cell receptors present within them, favours virus replication, and is a possible link to their intraspecies transmission. |
T208 |
1612-1784 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The interspecies spill-over of a BtCoV to humans is thought to occur through an intermediate host, in which the virus replicates through yet completely unidentified routes. |

T215 |
2647-2921 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although CoVs in the subfamily Coronavirinae do not usually produce clinical symptoms in their natural hosts (bats), accidental transmission of these viruses to humans and other animals may result in respiratory, enteric, hepatic or neurologic diseases of variable severity. |
T216 |
2922-2995 |
