New alphacoronavirus in Mystacina tuberculata bats, New Zealand
Abstract
Because of recent interest in bats as reservoirs of emerging diseases, we investigated the presence of viruses in Mystacina tuberculata bats in New Zealand. A novel alphacoronavirus sequence was detected in guano from roosts of M. tuberculata bats in pristine indigenous forest on a remote offshore island (Codfish Island).
Keywords: Mystacina tuberculata; New Zealand; alphacoronavirus; bats; coronavirus; guano; metagenomics; viruses.
