Isolation of Bat Sarbecoviruses, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Surveillance of bat betacoronaviruses is crucial for understanding their spillover potential. We isolated bat sarbecoviruses from Rhinolophus cornutus bats in multiple locations in Japan. These viruses grew efficiently in cells expressing R.
