About The Cover
ONLINE COVER Bat-tling Zoonotic Infections. Coronaviruses are endemic in multiple mammalian species, including bats, and can jump into the naïve human population at anytime. Sheahan et al. identified an antiviral drug that had activity against coronaviruses from various hosts. Their findings indicate this drug could be useful during the next zoonotic coronavirus outbreak. [CREDIT: BLICKWINKEL/ALAMY STOCK PHOTO]
