Multiple independent acquisitions of ACE2 usage in MERS-related coronavirusesTwo coronaviruses related to MERS-CoV, which infect European Pipistrellus bats, have been found to use ACE2 as their receptor. These viruses target an ACE2 surface region distant from those recognized by other known ACE2-using coronaviruses, highlighting convergent evolution in their adaptation to utilize ACE2.Two coronaviruses related to MERS-CoV, which infect European Pipistrellus bats, have been found to use ACE2 as their receptor.
