Human betacoronavirus 2c EMC/2012-related viruses in bats, Ghana and Europe
Abstract
We screened fecal specimens of 4,758 bats from Ghana and 272 bats from 4 European countries for betacoronaviruses. Viruses related to the novel human betacoronavirus EMC/2012 were detected in 46 (24.9%) of 185 Nycteris bats and 40 (14.7%) of 272 Pipistrellus bats. Their genetic relatedness indicated EMC/2012 originated from bats.
Keywords: Africa; CoV-EMC; Europe; Ghana; bats; coronavirus; human betacoronavirus; viruses.
