Genomic Surveillance Detection of SARS-CoV-1-Like Viruses in Rhinolophidae Bats, Bandarban Region, Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced sarbecovirus from Rhinolophus spp. bats in Bandarban District, Bangladesh, in a genomic surveillance campaign during 2022-2023. Sequences shared identity with SARS-CoV-1 Tor2, which caused an outbreak of human illnesses in 2003. Describing the genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of reservoir pathogens can aid in identifying sources of future spillovers.
