Infectome analysis of bat kidneys from Yunnan province, China, reveals close relatives of Hendra-Nipah viruses and prevalent bacterial and eukaryotic pathogens
2025-01-11
Abstract excerpt
Bats are natural reservoirs for a wide range of microorganisms, including many notable zoonotic pathogens. However, the infectome of bat kidneys remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we performed meta-transcriptomic sequencing on kidney tissues from 142 bats, spanning ten species sampled at five locations in Yunnan province, China. This analysis identified 22 viral species, including 20 novel viruses, tw...
