Isolation and characterization of bovine coronavirus variants with mutations in the hemagglutinin-esterase gene in dairy calves in China
These findings suggest that BCoV HE deleted/inserted variants are prevalent in cattle and exhibit various biological characteristics. We should be alert to these HE-variants with insertions or deletions in the RBD, which may increase the possibility of interspecies transmission.
