As a fi rst step in investigating unidentifi ed pathogens in bats and to help forecast the potential threat of emerging infectious diseases, we tried to isolate and characterize viruses that persistently infect bats. However, no viral nucleic acid sequence was detected from an RNA sample in the RV1-infected BKT1 cells. In addition, our success in DNA virus isolation might have resulted from usage of the adult animal latently and persistently infected with DNA viruses such as adenovirus and herpesvirus. Although its pathogenicity for humans is still unknown, knowledge of RV1 will be useful in epidemiologic studies of infectious diseases emerging from bats because persistently infecting viruses might be isolated together with primary pathogens. ./cache/cord-322240-z8zkl2xh.txt ./txt/cord-322240-z8zkl2xh.txt
