Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted research into animal reservoirs for coronaviruses, with bats being identified as a significant potential source.
- In summer 2020, researchers in southern Sweden sampled 77 adult bats and successfully detected a novel coronavirus in the feces of a single female bat.
- This finding marks the first instance of coronaviruses identified in Swedish bats, suggesting that they could contribute to the transmission cycle of coronaviruses in the region, highlighting the need for careful monitoring while considering conservation efforts for threatened bat species.
