"A total of 23 different bat species were tested in this study (Table S1). Samples were 619 collected between May2019 and November 2020 from Mengla County, Yunnan Province in southern China (101.271563 E, 21.918897 N;101.220091 E, 21.593202 621 N and 101.297471 E, 21.920934 N). The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden has an ethics committee that provided permission for trapping and bat surveys within 623 this study." @Eddie Holmes do you happen to have Table S1 from Zhou2021? OR a month and year when RpYN06 and RsYN06 were collected. Updating Holmes 2021 figs etc.

I'll email them all to you Bob - I'll just make a cup of tea...as long as turning on the kettle is not deemed too dangerous

Had a chat to Linfa and it seems he has more positive pangolins. He's going to run his VirScan-like assays on Tommy's. I think we have 7 positive animals. Of course, that bats may be passing the virus to pangolins does nearly show that virus jump between species in nature. Who would have thought!!

Thanks Eddie. I understand that bats etc live in Sri Lanka and other tea growing countries - so yes better to curtailthat overly risky activity going forward. Agreed the pango story is an interesting one on many levels - lots ofimportant CoV evolution and ecology to sort. That is unless the Parisites have their way and all this threateningvirology is stopped.
