Trafficking of live mammals is considered a major risk for emergence of zoonotic viruses. SARS-CoV-2- related coronaviruses have previously been identified in pangolins, the world’s most smuggled mammal. A new study identifies a MERS-related coronavirus in trafficked pangolins with broad mammalian tropism and a newly acquired furin cleavage site in Spike.
