Researchers in New Zealand have recently uncovered two new lineages of coronavirus in native long-tailed bats. During the study, it was found that over 60% of the native bats became infected with the virus. Due to the large numbers of these creatures in confined spaces such as caves or tree cavities, the environment becomes ideal for virus transmission through respiratory droplets. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):Q: Can the new lineages of coronavirus in native bats infect humans? Their close proximity in confined spaces provides an ideal environment for virus transmission.
