Scientists have discovered a bat coronavirus capable of entering human cells – and it could lead to another global pandemic.
An international team of researchers found an alphacoronavirus, called KY43, has the ability to bind to a cell receptor found in the human lung.
It originates in heart–nosed bats in East Africa, including parts of Kenya, eastern Sudan and northern Tanzania.
Preliminary testing suggests it has not yet spread into the local human population.
But the findings indicate it has the capability to trigger an infection – and could be the first step in another pandemic.
Commenting on the research Benjamin Neuman, professor of biology at Texas A&M University, said: 'This study shines a light on another of the depressingly many viruses lurking just outside public consciousness, awaiting a chance encounter that could open the door to spreading in people.
'Think of KY43 as one of a million viruses, poised for a one–in–a–million chance to make the leap from bats to people. History tells us that one virus will break through, but which, we cannot guess.
'When or if KY43 spreads in people, we can only guess – so for now, science does its job, studying and preparing, building a bulwark of knowledge against an uncertain future.'

Insiders claim failed AI rollout could be to blame for Tim Cook's departure from Apple - as one says 'the AI era requires a different kind of leadership'
After 15 years in the top spot, the CEO will make way for John Ternus, the current head of hardware engineering, who has been at the company for 25 years.
Now, experts suggest the real reason for Mr Cook's 'surprise' departure might be the underwhelming launch of Apple's AI system, Apple Intelligence.

British taxpayers are to hand the French up to £660million for small boat patrols, pushing the total paid since the start of the Channel crisis past £1.3billion.
Labour has agreed to give Emmanuel Macron's government a 'core package' of £500million – spread over the next three years - to continue funding anti-migrant operations by French police.
A further £160million will also be handed over to fund new tactics by the French including stopping dinghies once they are already in the water.

Hegseth fires Secretary of the Navy after dispute over Trump's 'Golden Fleet' amid military departures
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the US Secretary of the Navy from his position amid Donald Trump's ongoing war with Iran, centered around the Strait of Hormuz.
John C. Phelan was ousted from his military role on Wednesday afternoon after a disagreement over Trump's plan for building a 'Golden Fleet' of military vessels.
'The administration really wanted to accelerate the shipbuilding program because of the president’s agenda … and the secretary seemed incapable of accomplishing those goals and he wasn’t well liked,' a source told The New York Post.
'When you combine incompetence with arrogance it usually doesn’t end well.'

When I get shut down again, I'm gonna reheat my Kroger Crispy Chicken Strips. If they're soggy, so much the better, I don't have have teeth...
The mercury vapor street lamp between me and the illegals in the alley is wigging out again. On and off every minute [wastes energy] I'll call the local municipal number tomorrow.
They'll have to send a phalanx of police to protect the workers from me. I haven't killed anybody since 2008.
It was self defense, I'm not in prison.
EweToob has been bombarding me with Agnetha Fältskog videos of late. I'm not crazy for blonds.

The first time this came up on my timeline, I thought it was Kim.
The internet and cameras weren't there in the early 80s. Kim's not so spunky now as an MD, but she has her moments in private.
