Research investigates the susceptibility of seven bat species to SARS-CoV-2 by expressing their ACE2 receptor in a non-permissive avian cell line. The study found that all seven bat species were susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, but the level of virus replication differed between bat species and virus variants.
