| complete mitochondrial genome of the far eastern myotis, myotis bombinus (chiroptera, vespertilionidae). | the complete mitochondrial genome of the far eastern myotis, myotis bombinus (chiroptera, vespertilionidae) is determined in this study. it is 17 128 base pairs in length with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rnas, 22 transfer rnas, and a non-coding control region. its gene order is identical to that of other typical vertebrates. there are two tandem repeat sequences in the non-coding control region. each repeat sequences contains 5 copies of 81 nucleotides and 42 copies of 6 nucleotides. ph ... | 2017 | 26714246 |
| long-term surveillance of bat coronaviruses in korea: diversity and distribution pattern. | bats harbour diverse coronaviruses (covs), some of which are associated with zoonotic infections, as well as inter-species transmission. in this study, a total of 512 bat faecal samples from the bat habitats at different geographical locations in south korea were investigated between 2016 and 2019. seventy-eight samples were positive for coronaviruses (15.2%), comprising 68 alphacoronaviruses (13.3%) and 10 betacoronaviruses (2.0%). the positive rates tended to increase during the awakening (apr ... | 2020 | 32473082 |
| white-nose syndrome detected in bats over an extensive area of russia. | spatiotemporal distribution patterns are important infectious disease epidemiological characteristics that improve our understanding of wild animal population health. the skin infection caused by the fungus pseudogymnoascus destructans emerged as a panzootic disease in bats of the northern hemisphere. however, the infection status of bats over an extensive geographic area of the russian federation has remained understudied. | 2018 | 29914485 |
