Bat SARS-like coronavirus WIV1 (Bat SL-CoV-WIV1), also sometimes called SARS-like coronavirus WIV1, is a strain of

positive-sense RNA enclosed within an envelope.[3]

Zoonosis

The discovery confirms that bats are the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV.

SARS from bats to humans without the intermediary Chinese civets, as previously believed.[4]
