Figure 3.

Possible routes of SARS‐CoV, MERS‐CoV, and SARS‐CoV‐2 interspecies jumps and transmission to the human population due to genomic adaptations that help the virus in the invasion of subsequent species. The image accentuates the zoonotic circulation of the viral agents in bat populations with subsequent jumps to intermediate hosts and finally, due to anthropogenic factors, the viruses can be disseminated in the human population. CoV, coronavirus; MERS, Middle East respiratory syndrome; SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome
