Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Group 1 Coronaviruses in South American Bats 2008-12-17 .txt text/plain 1761 126 66 The search for the animal reservoir of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) led to extensive surveys of coronaviruses in wild and domestic animal populations in China, resulting in the detection of a wide variety of novel bat coronaviruses (Bt-CoVs) (2) (3) (4) (5) . Our detection of RNA from group 1 CoVs in Trinidadian bats shows that Bt-CoVs have a wider distribution than previously suspected and is added support for bats as the original host species for these viruses. Despite the geographic proximity of the bats from which the Trinidadian Bt-CoV sequences were derived-Couva and Fyzabad are 28 km (17 miles) apart, and Trinidad has an area of only 4,769 km 2 (1,864 square miles)-they are relatively highly divergent. Trinidadian bat coronavirus (Bt-CoV) sequences are highlighted in red and North American Bt-CoV in blue.
