“…In the past twenty years, bats of different species have been recognized as important hosts of viruses from different families including rhabdoviruses [1][2][3], coronaviruses [4][5][6][7][8][9], filoviruses [10][11][12], flaviviruses [13,14], orthomyxoviruses [15][16][17], paramyxoviruses [18,19] and others [20,21]. Numerous studies have shown that bats not only harbor a large number of viruses, but are also a major source for the emergence and transmission of viruses that cause highly pathogenic infectious diseases in humans, most importantly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromelike coronavirus (SARS-like CoV) [7], Ebola virus [10,22] and the henipaviruses, Hendra virus [23][24][25][26] and Nipah virus [27][28][29], which are members of the paramyxovirus family.…”
