Abstract

The described pictures underline the ability of CoVs of driving genetic evolution, to undergoes recombination, and to easy cross interspecies barriers. This potential high genetic recombination ability ensures the proliferation of new strains that may have selective advantages over parental genomes.9 In this aspect, the newly identified CCoV-Hupn-2018 should lead researchers to pay a special attention to the mechanisms of recombination among CoVs, in addition to the onset of variants as a result of mutations. Continuous monitoring of these viruses are required because (without saying as Cassandra…!!!) recombination observed in CCoVs may represent a dramatic warning for SARS-CoV-2.
