ZC45病毒與ZXC21病毒

ZC45病毒（SL-CoV ZC45）與ZXC21病毒（SL-CoV ZXC21），被部分媒體稱為舟山蝙蝠病毒，皆為嚴重急性呼吸系統綜合症相關冠狀病毒（SARSr-CoV）的病毒株，在中國浙江舟山的小菊頭蝠樣本中發現，於2018年發表。這兩個病毒株屬於SARS-CoV-2的演化支，全基因組核酸序列與SARS-CoV-2的相似度約為88%，與SARS-CoV的相似度則約為81%。 2015年至2017年間，研究人員在浙江舟山採集334隻小菊頭蝠樣本，發現其中含有多種冠狀病毒序列，其中有兩個新病毒株（即ZC45與ZXC21）的基因組被完整定序，分別長29802與29732nt，彼此基因組序列相似度為97%。這兩個病毒株的基因組序列與SARS-CoV相似度約為81%，刺突蛋白（S）胺基酸序列和SARS-CoV的相似度則為77%，皆低於Rs3367等數種較早發現的蝙蝠SARSr-CoV和SARS-CoV的相似度，且兩病毒刺突蛋白的S1次單元胺基酸序列和其他蝙蝠SARSr-CoV差異較大，與其相似度最高者（Rs806）亦僅有83%。動物實驗顯示ZC45病毒可感染實驗大鼠，在多個器官造成發炎，其中以腦組織最為明顯。 2020年1月，2019冠狀病毒病疫情甫爆發後，研究人員定序SARS-CoV-2的基因組，發現ZC45與ZXC21是當時已知核酸序列與SARS-CoV-2相似度最高的病毒，約有88%，高於SARS-CoV-2與SARS-CoV相似度的82%，共同組成一演化支，不過兩病毒與與SARS-CoV-2在刺突蛋白的相似度較低，核酸序列的相似度約為75%，其中在S2次單元的相似度比S1次單元的高許多，在位於S1末端、與宿主細胞受體結合的受體結合結構域（receptor binding domain, RBD）相似度僅約60%，低於SARS-CoV-2與SARS-CoV在此的相似度（約74%）。 2020年9月，前香港大學病毒學研究員閆麗夢在美國發表未經同行評審的論文，指控SARS-CoV-2並非自然產生，而是在實驗室經改造ZC45與ZXC21（或稱「舟山蝙蝠病毒」）而成的人造病毒，論文指出SARS-CoV-2基因組中的許多特徵不見於其他冠狀病毒，且ZC45與ZXC21的序列和其「十分相似」，很可能是製作SARS-CoV-2的來源模板，而與SARS-CoV-2關係接近、但在疫情爆發後才發表的RaTG13病毒、RmYN02病毒與穿山甲冠狀病毒可能為虛構。此論文的可信度受到諸多學者批評，許多病毒學家表示ZC45與ZXC21和SARS-CoV-2的序列差異大於10%，約有3500個鹼基不同，差異已大到幾乎不可能為人工製造，有學者並形容此論文為垃圾科學。 SARS-CoV-2與相關病毒株的系統發生樹 :   蝙蝠病毒   穿山甲病毒   人類病毒 但後來發表的RaTG13病毒、RmYN02病毒等基因組與SARS-CoV-2的相似度更高，分別為96.2%與93.3%。 林祖偉. 肺炎疫情：新冠病毒到底哪來的？科學界的幾種說法.
