When we plugged in 'nidovirus dpp4,' 107 references were retrieved, many of which are for MERS. Reference #107, the original link, is here:

Mar 2013 Receptor for New Coronavirus Found
Isolation and characterisation of three polypeptides with neurotoxic activity from Anemonia sulcata. - PubMed - NCBI
'....Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and a largely European team report that spikes on the surface of hCoV-EMC bind to dpp4, a well-known receptor protein on human cells.'

'dipeptidyl peptidase oseltamivir' at Pubmed, yielded one reference:
One-pot reactions accelerate the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. - PubMed - NCBI
'....The cyclohexene derivatives obtained by Enders et al bear a remarkable resemblance to the carbocyclic core of (-)-oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and ABT-341.'

Thus, dpp4 specifically links to Thai use of oseltamivir against 2019-nCoV.
 
Clues to Male Preference of 2019-nCoV

From the study of post #280 we find that EAV causes death and abortion, though does not cause teratogenesis. Thus, there are differences in sequences between EAV and SARS which should be investigated. Further, an unusually high number of tuberculosis cases in Kentucky was noted when studying past coroner records from certain time windows. Balasuriya specifically mentions Kentucky for EAV, so Ft. Campbell would likely be a poor choice for 2019-nCoV quarantine:

'....Most EAV infections are subclinical but occasional outbreaks of disease occur that are characterised by any combination of influenza-like illness in adult horses, abortion i pregnant mares, and interstitial pneumonia in very young foals. Up to 60% of stallions infected with EAV become persistently infected carriers and shed virus continuously in semen. Persistence of EAV in the male reproductive tract is testosterone-dependent, and persistently infected stallions function as a natural reservoir that can disseminate virus to susceptible mare at breeding (Timoney and McCollum, 1993).
....
To characterize the heterogeneity of EAV during persistent infection, detailed sequence analysis of the structural protein genes (ORFs [open-reading frames] 2-7) was performed with viral RNA purified directly from semen collected sequentially over a 10-year period from two Thoroughbred carrier stallions that were infected during an EAV outbreak in Kentucky in 1984 (Hedges et al [1999], J. Virol. 73: 3672-3681)....the RNA in the semen of two stallions was distinct from year to year. The master sequence of the virus population shed in the semen of individual stallions varied by approximately 1% per year.'
(Balasuriya EBR, et al, Molecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Equine Arteritis Virus, in, The Nidoviruses (Coronaviruses and Arteriviruses))

In the same volume, and linking the potyvirus of papaya leaf in post #261:

'Arterivirus EAV is a 'Mini' Coronavirus: The Birth of the Nidovirales....Particularly, the frameshifted pp1b polyprotein contained distant homologs of four conserved domains that had previously been identified in both corona- and toroviruses. Likewise, the pp1a polyprotein contained a characteristic domain set consisting of Plpro (called papain-like cysteine protease, PCP) asw well as 3CLpro embedded between two HDs (hydrophobic domains, Fig 1)....these families were united in a Coronavirus-like supergroup, Gorbalenya and Koonin, 1993; Snijder et al, 1993), which was subsequently recognized as the order Nidovirales (Cavanaugh, 1997)....an amplification of papain-like domains has contributed to the enlargement of the nidovirus genome....Each of these proteases was shown to cleave two sites that included at least one small amino acid. In MHV, both sites were mapped upstream of the cognate PL1pro (papain-like 1), and for IBV, one site was found to be upstream and another downstream of the PLpro.'
(Gorbalenya A, Big Nidovirus Genome: When Count and Order of Domains Matter, in The Nidoviruses, op cit)

Thus, aspects of EAV link MHV and IBV, previously mentioned in the thread.

Further reinforcing the link to GAV (gill-associated virus, post #249) is a Thai link:

'Gill-associated virus (GAV) is a rod-shaped, enveloped virus that infects Penaeus monodon (black tiger prawns) in Australia (Spann et al 1997). The morphology and pathology of GAV closely resemble that of yellow head virus (YHV) which has caused significant production losses to prawn aquaculture industry in Thailand (Chantanachookin et al 1993). We have recently shown that these viruses share a high level of sequence identity and can be considered as geographic topotypes (Cowley et al 1999) YHV posseses a long >22kb ssRNA genome and four major structural proteins of which the 135 kDa protein is glycosylated. There is conflicting evidence and speculation that it may be related to rhabdoviruses (incl. rabies) or coronaviruses. In order to establish an approximate taxonomic classification of these viruses, we are investigating the genome sequence, organisation and replication strategy of GAV.'
(Cowley JA et al, Gill-Associated Virus of Penaeus monodon Prawns: Molecular Evidence for the First Invertebrate Nidovirus, in The Nidoviruses, op cit)
 
OP is correct: Chinese eat all kinds of exotic foods and their polyculture includes fish, ducks, pigs and humans all using the same pond, for example, greatly assisting the evolution of hepatitis B virus.

The report at post #287 states: ' In a different study, Dr. Fang Li from the University of Minnesota....alarmingly predicts that a single mutation (at a specific spot in the genome)....ACE2.'

Position 501 is mutating to become more virulent. As Li et al continue in their report (post #178): '....Alarmingly, our data predict that a single N501T mutation (corresponding to the S487T mutation in SARS-CoV) may significantly enhance the binding affinity between 2019-nCoV and human ACE2....Asn501 in 2019-nCoV RBD provides more support to hotspot-353 than Ser487, but less than Thr487. This analysis suggests that 2019-nCoV recognizes human ACE2 less efficiently than human SARS-CoV (year 2000), but more efficiently than human SARS-CoV (year 2003). Hence, at least when considering the ACE2-RBD interactions, 2019-nCoV has gained some capability to transmit from human to human....Tyr forms a hydrogen bond with Thr31 of civet ACE2....'

Note that asparagine (N) contains 5 hydrogen atoms while aspartic acid contains 4. Thus, the critical 2019-nCoV mutation at position 501 is a hydrogenation rather than a dehydrogenation when comparing the two amino acids. Li, et al's predictive biology report from Minnesota-North Carolina of 29 Jan 2020 can now be updated by these new mutations in 2019-nCoV which cause increasing virulence.
 
Clearly, 2019-nCoV position 501 is the hotspot to watch as the virus mutates. Here we link only the SARS-CoV asparagine mutations thusfar published. There are 10 references:

SARS-CoV / Asparagine
sars-cov asparagine - PubMed - NCBI
'spike glycoproteins....ref#9: papain-like protease.'
 
4:12 PM epicenter reports 2,987 new cases, 70 new deaths
BNO Newsroom on Twitter
'Comments: " I no longer believe these numbers are even remotely truthful or accurate."

I don't believe them either. The numbers reported are not relevant to the virus outbreak: they are only measuring human activity -- that is, a frantic effort to test people which is bound to be missing many, many light cases and other cases because they can't get to them. Human activity is not a measure of the spread of the epidemic itself.
 
If the virus can or will mutate in current, unknown human carriers, the epidemic is proceeding apart from known human activity. It is astonishing that apparently no Chinese homo sapiens has asked another whether or not they have eaten snake within the last two months, or used Bungarus as medicine (for what, the flu?).

Open air markets, no refrigeration, flies on all food supplies, cross contamination, improper sanitation,

What could go wrong?
you know why flies land on your food?
to wipe the poo off of their feet
Some pinhead named Biff thought my post was racist. Freaking idiot.

Just a fact that many cultures have open markets without proper sanitation.
 
Asparagine at position 501 is the foremost hotspot while the second, according to Li et al, is position 494. (Post #288 as Li et al continues): '....Overall, Leu455, Phe486 and Ser494 of 2019-nCoV RBD support that 2019-nCoV recognizes human ACE2 and infects human cells.
