Detection of multiple viruses in oropharyngeal samples from Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) using viral metagenomics

In this study, we analyzed the viral population in oropharyngeal samples from T. brasiliensis using a viral metagenomic approach. Genomes corresponding to members of the families Circoviridae, Genomoviridae, Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Coronaviridae , and Astroviridae were detected. This study p...

Summary:In this study, we analyzed the viral population in oropharyngeal samples from T. brasiliensis using a viral metagenomic approach. Genomes corresponding to members of the families Circoviridae, Genomoviridae, Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Coronaviridae , and Astroviridae were detected. This study provides the first preliminary understanding of the oropharyngeal virome of T. brasiliensis , which may guide the discovery and isolation of novel viruses in the future and highlights the need for continuing investigations in this regard.
