Abstract
- Diverse coronaviruses have been identifi ed in bats from several continents but not from Africa. We identified group 1 and 2 coronaviruses in bats in Kenya, including SARS-related coronaviruses. The sequence diversity suggests that bats are well-established reservoirs for and likely sources of coronaviruses for many species, including humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
