At least seven distinct rotavirus genotype constellations in bats with evidence of reassortment and zoonotic transmissions
2020-08-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bats host many viruses pathogenic to humans, and increasing evidence suggests that Rotavirus A (RVA) also belongs to this list. Rotaviruses cause diarrheal disease in many mammals and birds, and their segmented genomes allow them to reassort and increase their genetic diversity. Eighteen out of 2,142 bat fecal samples (0.8%) collected from Europe, Central America and Africa were PCR-positive for...
