Cell Host & MicrobeVersatile use of bat ACE2 for cellular entry by MERS-CoV-like virusesCellular entry receptors for bat MERS-CoV-like viruses NeoCoV and PDF-2180 were unknown,
leaving their zoonotic potential ambiguous. A recent study by Xiong et al. published
in Nature identified bat ACE2 as the cellular entry receptor for both viruses, highlighting
the ability of coronaviruses to utilize a range of entry receptors.
