    Stellate bat-human virus
    PRC of Hong Kong - Following the bird flu virus, the SARS virus, the Hong Kong University School of Medicine Department of Microbiology, then in animals to find the virus can infect humans. The Department of the first global found that the bat was found in seven of human presence could have led to the stellate gastroenteritis virus, and tests showed that the bat of human infection of the virus genetic sequencing star is very similar to the virus suspected of bat-human transmission. Participated in the study of the Department of Microbiology, Assistant Panlie delegate, pointed out that the bat with a wide variety of stellate virus, including new varieties can not be ruled out if to humans, can cause mutation of the virus, the disease triggered the crisis.

    Panlie, said that study also bat for the virus samples for the gene sequencing and found the bat of human infection with the virus is very similar to the star, "stellate bat-human virus may be, or from the same source at the same time with the bat of human-Bi, However, to do more research to confirm that. " He added that the bat was found in the stellate virus has three categories, each of the genes are different sort, and display a wide range of new varieties can not be ruled out if to humans, can cause mutation of the virus, become more and more Formidable.
