2026-07-29 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection A MERS-related coronavirus (Betacoronavirus cameli) was detected by nested RT-PCR and HTS in a rectal swab from one Molossus molossus bat in southern Brazil (1/65, 1.5%). 42525174
2026-07-29 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic reconstruction of five genomic contigs placed the detected Betacoronavirus cameli within Merbecovirus and showed close relationship to MERS-CoV strains from bats and dromedary camels. 42525174
2026-07-07 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection MARV RNA was not detected in 289 captured bats, including 158 Rousettus aegyptiacus. 42415355
2026-06-08 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis showed that Stricticimex coltivirus (SCCV) clusters within the Coltivirus genus and is most closely related to Tai Forest Reovirus from African bats. 42258525
2026-05 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis of coronavirus sequences from bats in Brazil showed they form divergent branches within American Alphacoronavirus lineages, with tree structuring by biome and multiple bat hosts represented in clades. 41699435
2026-05 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Coronavirus RNA was detected and sequenced from bat faecal samples collected in the Amazon‑Cerrado transition region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. 41699435
