This image shows that HKU8 was originally a rat beta coronavirus (Ruili-66).

This image is 1 of 2 that shows that Rs4259 was also originally a rat beta coronavirus. Actually the HKU10 family sprouted out of the HKU8 family of viruses.

This is the second part of the Rs4259 spike that came from rat virus Ruili-66.

This image is the introduction to the contribution of the Mojiang Henipavirus to the alpha coronavirus family.

This image is 1 of 3 that shows the recombination events between Rs4259 and the Mojiang Henipavirus (paramyxovirus).

This is a further image (2 of 3) showing the recombination events between Rs4259 and the Mojiang Henipavirus.
