Interspecific germline chimerism mediated by transplantation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) of wild species to domestic hosts promises the conservation of wild birds. Cryopreservation of avian eggs and embryos is impracticable, and currently only frozen PGCs enable conservation of both the male and female descendants. Purebred offspring have been obtained from germline chimeras of wild avian species, proving the feasibility of such technology.

- Bats in Thailand are known to host various coronaviruses, including those similar to human pathogens like SARS and MERS, which raises concerns for zoonotic transmission.
- A study collected samples from 626 bats across 19 species in Eastern Thailand, discovering CoV RNA in 7.6% of them, representing a diverse range of coronaviruses including new bat CoV reservoirs.
- Findings indicate that similar CoV lineages can be found in different bat species, suggesting a complex and diverse ecology of coronaviruses among bats in the region, highlighting the need for further research.
