Divergent Alphacoronavirus Lineages Identified in Alabama Bats, USA.

Viruses - 12 Aug 2026

Abstract excerpt

Bats are crucial reservoirs for coronaviruses, yet surveillance in the southeastern United States remains limited. Using carcasses submitted from public health surveillance for rabies, we screened 170 non-rabid bat carcasses from Alabama using a tiered real-time PCR framework targeting broad Alpha- and Betacoronavirus, alongside specific Sarbecovirus and Merbecovirus lineages. Overall, coronavirus prevalence was...
