The soup of bat is the most delicious dish in China and the popular one in Wuhan province where the coronavirus originates.

A new study published in the Science China Information Sciences proves that a new strain of the coronavirus belongs to that strain found in bats only.

The deadly previous epidemics such as SARS and Ebola found in those flying mammals only.

At first, scientists thought the new virus is not able to be deadly or cause an epidemic because its genes are different but it has strong ties with a human protein named ACE2.

Experts said that those thoughts did not base on a concrete basis so a new vaccine needs at least a year to be prepared.
