我昨天发了一篇石正丽团队应该去澳洲抓蝙蝠,结果文章被删,还被举报
我就想问问为什么澳大利亚蝙蝠就可以被排除怀疑,
澳大利亚蝙蝠A型和B型冠状病毒都有,粗体字就是澳洲本土蝙蝠发现的冠状病毒,和东南亚一带一脉相承,有亲缘关系

Abstract
Following the SARS outbreak, extensive surveillance was undertaken globally to detect and identify coronavirus diversity in bats. This study sought to
identify the diversity and prevalence of coronaviruses in bats in the
Australasian region. We identified four different genotypes of coronavirus, three of which (an alphacoronavirus and two betacoronaviruses) are
potentially new species, having less than 90% nucleotide sequence identity
with the most closely related described viruses. We did not detect any SARS-like betacoronaviruses, despite targeting rhinolophid bats, the putative
natural host taxa. Our findings support the virus-host co-evolution
hypothesis, with the detection of Miniopterus bat coronavirus HKU8 (
previously reported in Miniopterus species in China, Hong Kong and Bulgaria) in Australian Miniopterus species. Similarly, we detected a novel
betacoronavirus genotype from Pteropus alecto which is most closely related to Bat coronavirus HKU9 identified in other pteropodid bats in China, Kenya and the Philippines. We also detected possible cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses, and the apparent enteric tropism of these viruses. Thus, our findings are consistent with a scenario wherein the current diversity
and host specificity of coronaviruses reflects co-evolution with the
occasional host shift.

澳大利亚人现在肯定非常怕,网上马上出了甩锅文,说澳大利亚蝙蝠没可能携带SARS-
LIKE冠状病毒,虽然以前2016这篇年文章说澳洲蝙蝠A型,B型冠状病毒抗体都有,

Alphacoronaviruses were more widespread (by host species and by geographic
spread) than betacoronaviruses in this study. No SARS-like betacoronaviruseswere detected in Australia in this study. Viral genome and/or antibody
prevalence was high (above 50%, and sometimes 100%) in insectivorous bat
taxa (Miniopteridae and Vespertilionidae), including common species such as common bent-wing bats (Miniopterus schreibersii), little bent-wing bats (M. australis) and smaller horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus megaphyllus). No
betacoronavirus genomes were detected in Australian Rhinolophus bats (a
taxon of interest as SARS is believed to have originated from this genus)
but the presence of antibodies in this genus indicated previous exposure to,or infection with, alpha- or betacoronaviruses (Smith et al. 2016).
