Molecular Detection of Alpha‐ and Betacoronaviruses in Bats from Afar Region, Ethiopia [PDF]
Bats are critical reservoirs of coronaviruses, yet gaps remain in understanding coronavirus diversity within bat populations in Eastern Ethiopia. A total of 141 bats were captured: 129 Chaerephon pumilus, 11 Epomophorus labiatus and 1 Mops condylurus. Coronaviruses detected in eight bats.

Virome and Microbiome of Florida Bats Illuminate Viral Co-Infections, Dietary Viral Signals, and Gut Microbiome Shifts [PDF]
Florida’s bat virome remains poorly characterized despite the state’s high bat species diversity and conservation importance. We characterized viral metagenomes from rectal tissues, anal swabs, and feces of Myotis austroriparius and Tadarida brasiliensis

Molnupiravir Inhibits Replication of Multiple Alphacoronavirus suis Strains in Feline Cells [PDF]
The cross-species spillover of coronaviruses is considered a serious public health risk. Feline coronavirus (FCoV), canine coronavirus (CCoV), and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) are all classified under Alphacoronavirus suis and infect ...

Human alphacoronavirus replication and innate immune induction in airway culture systems [PDF]
Compared with lethal betacoronaviruses, there is limited knowledge of how human alphacoronaviruses HCoV-NL63 (NL63) and HCoV-229E (229E) interact with host innate immune responses.

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil [PDF]
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Genetic Diversity, Recombination, and Pathogenicity of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Strains Circulating in China During 2023–2024 [PDF]
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enteric alphacoronavirus that causes severe diarrhea and high mortality in neonatal piglets, posing a persistent threat to the global swine industry. Despite extensive vaccination, PEDV continues to circulate in China, underscoring the need for updated molecular epidemiological surveillance.

Detection of avian, murine, bovine, shrew, and bat coronaviruses in wild mammals from Mexico [PDF]
Coronaviruses infect a wide range of animal and human hosts. Some human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, originated in animals, with bats often serving as ancestral hosts.

First Detection of Alphacoronavirus in Bats from the World’s Largest Wetland, the Pantanal, Brazil [PDF]
Coronaviruses (CoV) infect a wide variety of hosts, causing epidemics in humans, birds, and mammals over the years. Bats (order Chiroptera) are one of the natural hosts of the Coronaviridae family. They represent 40% of the total number of mammal species
