Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes and Phylogeny of Barbastelle Bats Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Barbastelle bats are characterized by their distinct approximately square‐shaped outer ears, which converge at the forehead. In China, three species have been documented, and we present two mitochondrial genomes for Barbastella beijingensis and B. darjelingensis.

Geographic and Molecular Insights Into Bat Diversity and Virus Distribution in China: Implications for Public Health. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Bats are key reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, yet comprehensive data on their diversity and viral carriage across China remain limited. This study compiled national‐level data on bat taxonomy, distribution, and associated viruses by integrating information from peer‐reviewed publications (PubMed), the ZOVER database, and cytochrome oxidase I ...
