- Bats in Thailand are known to host various coronaviruses, including those similar to human pathogens like SARS and MERS, which raises concerns for zoonotic transmission.
- A study collected samples from 626 bats across 19 species in Eastern Thailand, discovering CoV RNA in 7.6% of them, representing a diverse range of coronaviruses including new bat CoV reservoirs.
- Findings indicate that similar CoV lineages can be found in different bat species, suggesting a complex and diverse ecology of coronaviruses among bats in the region, highlighting the need for further research.
