Article Synopsis
- - Bats are known to carry various viruses, including different types of adenoviruses, with ten species of bat adenoviruses (BtAdV A to J) identified globally.
- - In Brazil, a study collected swabs from 208 bats across three states to detect and analyze the genetic diversity of BtAdVs in the Atlantic Forest, finding a 7.7% detection rate among multiple bat species.
- - The phylogenetic analysis revealed high genetic diversity and identified eleven new potential species of BtAdV (BtAdV K to U), contributing valuable information to the understanding and monitoring of adenoviruses in this region.
High genetic diversity of alphacoronaviruses in bat species (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

Bat coronaviruses (Bat-CoVs) represent around 35% of all virus genomes described in bats. Brazil has one of the highest mammal species diversity, with 181 species of bats described so far. However, few Bat-CoV surveillance programmes were carried out in the country.
