Scotophilus bat coronavirus 512 (Bat-CoV 512) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus species in the Alphacoronavirus , or Group 1, genus with a corona-like morphology. [1] [2] It was isolated from a lesser Asiatic yellow house bat discovered in southern China.

Genome

Sc-BatCoV-512 shares a common evolutionary origin in the spike protein of Bat-SARS CoV. This spike protein shares similar deletions with group 2 coronaviruses in the C-terminus. [2] [3] [4]
