A novel type of coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infecting humans appeared in Wuhan, China, at the end of December 2019. Since the identification of the outbreak the infection quickly spread involving in one month more than 31,000 confirmed cases with 638 death. Molecular analysis suggest that 2019-nCoV could be originated from bats after passaging in intermediate hosts, highlighting the high zoonotic potential of coronaviruses.
一种新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV)于 2019 年 12 月在中国武汉出现。自疫情爆发以来,感染迅速蔓延,一个月内确诊病例超过 31000 例,死亡 638 例。分子分析表明,2019-nCoV 可能起源于蝙蝠,在中间宿主中传播后,突出了冠状病毒的高人畜共患潜力。
