Genomic analysis reveals many animal species may be vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection – EurekAlert
Analysis of ACE2, the main receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to bind and enter cells, across 410 vertebrate species reveals that many are potentially susceptible to infection by the novel coronavirus. They include a number of endangered and threatened species, no…
