Genomic #Surveillance Detection of #SARS-CoV-1–Like Viruses in Rhinolophidae #Bats, Bandarban Region, #Bangladesh
Abstract We sequenced sarbecovirus from Rhinolophus spp. bats in Bandarban District , Bangladesh, in a genomic surveillance campaign during 2022–2023. Sequences shared identity with SARS-CoV-1 Tor2, which caused an outbreak of human illnesses in 2003 . Describing the genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of reservoir pathogens can aid in identifying sources of future spillovers.
