Highly diversified coronaviruses in neotropical bats

Abstract: Bats host a broad diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs), including close relatives of human pathogens. There is only limited data on neotropical bat CoVs. We analysed faecal, blood and intestine specimens from 1562 bats sampled in Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador and Brazil for CoVs by broad-range PCR. CoV RNA was detected in 50 bats representing nine different species, both frugivorous and insectivorous. These bat CoVs were unrelated to known human or animal pathogens, indicating an absence of recent zoonotic spill-ov… Show more

“…These viruses are shown with bat pictograms Fig Fig. 3, because only small sequence fragments reducing the phylogenetic resolution were available (Corman et al, 2013b;Drexler et al, 2010). Still, the sequences from these studies (detailed in Table 1) do not alter the overall picture of bat CoV-associated clades within the genera Alpha-and Betacoronavirus.…”

“…3 branch deeply in the phylogenetic tree and likely represent not only new species, but even new genetic clades. This is exemplified by the unclassified African Hipposideros betacoronaviruses (Pfefferle et al, 2009;Quan et al, 2010;Tong et al, 2009), which putatively represent a yet to be defined Betacoronavirus clade e and unclassified neotropical Carollia and Pteronotus viruses (Corman et al, 2013b) putatively corresponding to additional Betacoronavirus clades.

“…Corman et al (2013) detectaram alphacoronavirus relacionados em Carollia perpicillata do Brasil e da Costa Rica, separados por cerca de 5.600 km de distância. Concordando com o fato, Drexler et al (2010) identificaram coronavírus relacionados à SARS em diferentes espécies de morcegos do gênero Rhinolophid na Europa e na China, concluindo que existe uma associação entre o gênero do hospedeiro e o vírus.…”

“…Diversos trabalhos relatam a falha na tentativa de isolamento, mesmo utilizando uma ampla diversidade de linhagens celulares (TANG et al, 2006;GLOZA-RAUSCH et al, 2008;DREXLER et al, 2010;WATANABE et al, 2010). Mesmo utilizando linhagens de células derivadas de morcegos, o isolamento não é viável e, segundo Hoffmann et al (2013), um dos possíveis fatores é a especificidade dos coronavírus com a espécie ou gênero do hospedeiro como já descrito por outros autores (GLOZA-RAUSCH et al, 2008;DREXLER et al, 2010;CORMAN et al, 2013), fato também observado neste estudo. , 2007).…”
