Does the host of human coronaviruses genomes/sequences must be from human host? Or any other animal hosts should be fine as well?

Hi guys, if we want to use human coronaviruses to do some bioinformatics analysis, it will be the best to retrieve sequences/genomes from human host? Or it doesn't matter?

This is because I got the deposited data file of all human coronaviruses sequences from a published article from PNAS, and I realised small number of the sequences retrieved are not from human host or they are from unknown host. I am confused whether human coronaviruses genomes/sequences must be from human host. Can any experts or professionals explain to me about this matter?

When I'm downloading the sequences and sequences information from NCBI database, I managed to check the host of that particular sequence/genome.

Thank you in advanced for all the explanations :)
