The immunosuppressive virus Wuhan Institute of Virology isolated from Rhinolophus pussilus, will link to Gumboro, Delaware, 1962.
 
Gumboro, Delaware is at the opposite end of the state from where JoeXi attended University of Delaware. Gumboro disease is known around the world as infectious bursal disease virus, and produces the same immunosuppression in chickens as does the Wuhan Institute's virus from Rhinolophus.
 
Just think, over 200 million Americans have been injected with a drug that destroys the immune system and turns people in Ebola and AIDS.
 
We've just made the link to Senegal for the virus that Wuhan Institute isolated from Rhinolophus pusillus. This means that the chimpanzee whose adenovirus infection in The Gambia was used for the Astrazeneca vaccine (UK), is right next door to the Wuhan lab's bat virus connection in Senegal.
 
The bat-bird host for the virus in question is what one study names Streptopelia, though the generic name has been changed. This name change and classification helps one to see the Wuhan lab connection to the viruses from their Rhinolophus bat in the right-hand column for only two birds:
Streptopelia
'....Columba Branch: Spilopelia chinensis, Spilopelia senegalensis
 
Both species' range overlaps in India, so the exchange of viruses is possible.

Spotted Dove, Spilopelia chinensis
'....In India it tends to be found in the moister regions with the laughing dove (S. senegalensis)....southern California....Australia....In the Philippines it may be outcompeting S. dumieri.'

These dove-infecting viruses, including Gumboro disease in chickens, are circoviruses, and they link to the Asian Longhorned tick studied by Yong-Zhen Zhang of the Beijing CDC, Haemaphysalis longicornis, which has killed one human in Tennessee, one in Missouri (vector of Heartland virus) and threatens the U.S. cattle industry. Yong-Zhen Zhang attended the Kunming Institute of Zoology, not far from the source of RsSHC014. Australia's E.C. Holmes links to Cambridge Institute of Zoology. Both have co-authored publications extant.
