Abstract
This study presents the first record of coronavirus in British bats. Alphacoronavirus strains were detected in two of seven bat species, namely Myotis nattereri and M. daubentonii. Virus prevalence was particularly high in the previously unrecognized host M. nattereri, which can live in close proximity to humans.
摘要
本研究首次记录了英国蝙蝠中的冠状病毒。在七种蝙蝠物种中的两种，即食虫蝙蝠属（Myotis nattereri）和蝙蝠属（M. daubentonii）中检测到了甲型冠状病毒株。在以前未被识别的宿主食虫蝙蝠属（M. nattereri）中，病毒的流行率特别高，因为这种蝙蝠可以与人类近距离接触。
