Animals such as rabbits and hedgehogs could be a source of future coronavirus outbreaks, scientists have warned. Researchers used artificial intelligence to predict associations between 411 strains of coronavirus and 876 potential mammal host species.

A new coronavirus strain is usually generated through recombination between two existing coronaviruses. The team of scientists from the University of Liverpool used a combination of biology and machine learning to predict many more potential host species that were likely to be a source of these new coronavirus strains.

The study finds that more mammals were potential hosts for new coronaviruses than previously thought. The algorithm predicted that species like the common hedgehog, the
