Researchers have discovered six new coronaviruses in bats while studying how diseases can pass from animals to humans. The scientists said the coronaviruses, found in bats in Myanmar, are not closely related to the coronavirus now affecting many parts of the world. The research was led by scientists from the Smithsonian’s Global Health Program in Washington, D.C. The findings were recently reported in a study in the publication PLOS ONE. The researchers said the six new coronaviruses have never been discovered anywhere in the world. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals. The CDC adds that it is rare for animal coronaviruses to infect people and then spread among the human population.
