New Alphacoronavirus in Mystacina tuberculata Bats, New Zealand [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
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.

Receptor-binding loops in alphacoronavirus adaptation and evolution [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
Coronaviruses have a relatively high mutation rate, potentially allowing fast adaptation to changing pressures. Here, Wong et al. provide the structure of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the human coronavirus HCoV-229E and its receptor and analyze ...

Alphacoronavirus in a Daubenton's Myotis Bat (Myotis daubentonii) in Sweden [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated a search for reservoirs and species potentially involved in back and forth transmission. Studies have postulated bats as one of the key reservoirs of coronaviruses (CoVs), and different CoVs have been detected

Divergent <i>Alphacoronavirus</i> Lineages Identified in Alabama Bats, USA. [PDF]

Viruses
Bats are crucial reservoirs for coronaviruses, yet surveillance in the southeastern United States remains limited. Using carcasses submitted from public health surveillance for rabies, we screened 170 non-rabid bat carcasses from Alabama using a tiered ...

Human Alphacoronavirus Universal Primers for Genome Amplification and Sequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Rapid and accurate sequencing covering the entire genome is essential to identify genetic variations of viral pathogens. However, due to the low viral titers in clinical samples, certain amplification steps are required for viral genome sequencing.

Improving Virus Taxonomy by Recontextualizing Sequence-Based Classification with Biologically Relevant Data: the Case of the Alphacoronavirus 1 Species

mSphere, 2018
The difficulties related to virus taxonomy have been amplified by recent advances in next-generation sequencing and metagenomics, prompting the field to revisit the question of what constitutes a useful viral classification.

First Detection of Alphacoronavirus in Bats from the World’s Largest Wetland, the Pantanal, Brazil

Pathogens
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

Complete Alphacoronavirus genome sequence from common vampire bats in Peru [PDF]

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2020
Bats host diverse coronaviruses, including taxa capable of pandemic spread in humans. We report the genome of an alphacoronavirus from a neotropical bat species (Desmodus rotundus) in Peru, which contributes to our understanding of bat coronaviruses in ...

Alphacoronavirus in urban Molossidae and Phyllostomidae bats, Brazil [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2016
\ud \ud Background\ud Bats have been implicated as the main reservoir of coronavirus (CoV). Thus the role of these hosts on the evolution and spread of CoVs currently deserve the attention of emerging ...
