viral metagenomics of six bat species in close contact with humans in southern china.	accumulating studies have shown that bats could harbor various important pathogenic viruses that could be transmitted to humans and other animals. extensive metagenomic studies of different organs/tissues from bats have revealed a large number of novel or divergent viruses. to elucidate viral diversity and epidemiological and phylogenetic characteristics, six pooled fecal samples from bats were generated (based on bat species and geographic regions characteristic for virome analysis). these cont ...	2018	28983731
molecular detection and phylogenetic characterization of bat and human adenoviruses in southern china.	several novel adenoviruses (advs) have recently been identified in humans and other animal species. in this study, we report the molecular detection of and phylogenetically characterize bat and human advs detected in fecal or rectal swab samples collected in southern china. to detect advs, a 252-261 bp fragment of the dna polymerase (dpol) gene was amplified using nested pcr. a total of 520 rectal swab samples were collected from eight bat species in four geographic regions of southern china (gu ...	2016	27057618
seroprevalence of rabies virus antibodies in bats from southern china.	members of the order chiroptera are the natural reservoirs of lyssaviruses and play an important role in the transmission of rabies to animals and humans. in this present study, the seroprevalence for rabies virus was determined for bats sampled from four southern provinces on the chinese mainland. a total of 685 bats of 8 species representing 4 families were collected from 10 sites, and were tested by the indirect fluorescent antibody test using fluorescein isothiocyanate (fitc)-conjugated prot ...	2010	19492948
