recent transmission of a novel alphacoronavirus, bat coronavirus hku10, from leschenault's rousettes to pomona leaf-nosed bats: first evidence of interspecies transmission of coronavirus between bats of different suborders.	although coronaviruses are known to infect various animals by adapting to new hosts, interspecies transmission events are still poorly understood. during a surveillance study from 2005 to 2010, a novel alphacoronavirus, batcov hku10, was detected in two very different bat species, ro-batcov hku10 in leschenault's rousettes (rousettus leschenaulti) (fruit bats in the suborder megachiroptera) in guangdong and hi-batcov hku10 in pomona leaf-nosed bats (hipposideros pomona) (insectivorous bats in th ...	2012	22933277
genomic characterization of novel circular ssdna viruses from insectivorous bats in southern brazil.	circoviruses are highly prevalent porcine and avian pathogens. in recent years, novel circular ssdna genomes have recently been detected in a variety of fecal and environmental samples using deep sequencing approaches. in this study the identification of genomes of novel circoviruses and cycloviruses in feces of insectivorous bats is reported. pan-reactive primers were used targeting the conserved rep region of circoviruses and cycloviruses to screen dna bat fecal samples. using this approach, p ...	2015	25688970
