bat coronaviruses and experimental infection of bats, the philippines.	fifty-two bats captured during july 2008 in the philippines were tested by reverse transcription-pcr to detect bat coronavirus (cov) rna. the overall prevalence of virus rna was 55.8%. we found 2 groups of sequences that belonged to group 1 (genus alphacoronavirus) and group 2 (genus betacoronavirus) covs. phylogenetic analysis of the rna-dependent rna polymerase gene showed that groups 1 and 2 covs were similar to bat-cov/china/a515/2005 (95% nt sequence identity) and bat-cov/hku9-1/china/2007 ...	2010	20678314
detection and characterization of a novel bat-borne coronavirus in singapore using multiple molecular approaches.	bats are important reservoirs and vectors in the transmission of emerging infectious diseases. many highly pathogenic viruses such as sars-cov and rabies-related lyssaviruses have crossed species barriers to infect humans and other animals. in this study we monitored the major roost sites of bats in singapore, and performed surveillance for zoonotic pathogens in these bats. screening of guano samples collected during the survey uncovered a bat coronavirus (betacoronavirus) in cynopterus brachyot ...	2019	31418677
