Publication date Type Key finding PMID
2026-06-09 Receptor Usage Měnglà virus glycoprotein uses the same NPC1 receptor as Ebola and Marburg viruses, supporting molecular similarity that may facilitate cross-species transmission potential. 42247561
2026-06-09 Molecular Adaptation MLAV GP exhibits structural features that hinder binding of broadly neutralizing ebolavirus and marburgvirus antibodies, indicating molecular divergence that may affect cross-species immune interactions. 42247561
2026-05-12 Zoonotic Surveillance Rabies virus in Alabama wildlife was characterized by two major lineages: one associated with raccoons and another with bats. 42120058
2026-05-12 Cross Species Transmission Several examples of interspecific transmission among bats were apparent, although no bat rabies viruses were found in non-bat hosts. 42120058
2026-05-09 Zoonotic Surveillance A meta-transcriptomic survey of 22 wild animal species on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau revealed rich virome diversity and identified 36 viral genera with potential pathogenicity to humans or animals. 42106372
2026-05 Zoonotic Surveillance RT-PCR surveillance of fecal samples from bats in Mato Grosso, Brazil, detected Alphacoronavirus sequences. 41699435
2026-05 Genomic Evolution Brazilian bat coronaviruses formed divergent American Alphacoronavirus lineages in RdRp phylogenetic analyses, showing biome-associated structure and host diversity. 41699435
2026-05 Molecular Adaptation Ser-46 in the PRV σA protein is a key virulence determinant found in strains from humans, monkeys, and bat flies but not in bat strains, suggesting molecular adaptation linked to interspecies transmission. 42189872
2026-05 Cross Species Transmission Coronavirus sequences from bats in Mato Grosso cluster across multiple bat species within shared phylogenetic clades, consistent with cross-species transmission among bats. 41699435
2026-05 Reservoir Ecology Coronaviruses were detected in bats from the Amazon-Cerrado transition region of Mato Grosso, Brazil, where forest fragmentation influences bat diversity and reservoir dynamics. 41699435
2026-04-22 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetically diverse alphacoronavirus spike sequences, including those from the heart-nosed bat coronavirus CcCoV-KY43, were analyzed and grouped, showing that related East African viruses form a lineage that can use human CEACAM6. 42020746
2026-04-12 Zoonotic Surveillance Metatranscriptomic surveillance of bat fecal samples across central to southern China revealed diverse RNA viruses and indicated that bat species richness correlates with virome diversity. 42041887
2026-04-12 Reservoir Ecology Bat host species richness was the main ecological driver of bat RNA virome diversity in central to southern China, indicating key reservoir patterns influenced by host community composition and regional environmental factors. 42041887
2026-04-07 Genomic Evolution Bayesian phylodynamic analysis of Nipah virus N gene sequences from human and bat samples in Bangladesh identified two major lineages (BD-1 and BD-2) and ongoing diversification consistent with continued genomic evolution and lineage emergence. 41817188
2026-04 Host Range Experiment BANAL-236 replicated in human cells expressing ACE2 and TMPRSS2, showing susceptibility of human cell systems to this bat sarbecovirus. 42008572
2026-04 Host Range Experiment BANAL-236 failed to replicate in wild-type Rhinolophus cells but replicated in Rhinolophus ferrumequinum cells engineered to express human ACE2 and TMPRSS2, indicating human receptor-dependent host range expansion. 42008572
2026-03-24 Host Range Experiment Ghana virus caused no disease or mortality in experimentally infected Syrian golden hamsters, indicating limited pathogenicity in this mammalian model. 41824449
2026-03-24 Host Range Experiment Ghana virus replicated poorly in human cells, more strongly in bat cells, and did not cause disease in Syrian golden hamsters, demonstrating host-specific restriction in replication and pathogenesis. 41824449
