The Ecological Niche of bat Viruses Closely Related to SARS-CoV-2, as Inferred from Phylogeographic Analyses of Rhinolophus Species
2021-04-26
Abstract excerpt
To date, viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2 have been reported in four bat species: Rhinolophus acuminatus, Rhinolophus affinis, Rhinolophus malayanus, and Rhinolophus shameli. Here, we analysed 343 sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (CO1) from georeferenced bats of the four Rhinolophus species identified as reservoirs of viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2. Haplotype networks...
