Here, using bats as a typical wildlife reservoir model, virome analysis was conducted based on pharyngeal and anal swab samples of 4440 bat individuals of 40 major bat species throughout China. Based on the partial genomic sequences of the viruses obtained by the assembly, we designed specific nested primers for PCR or reverse trancriptase-PCR to screen for each virus in individual samples from each bat species (the primer sequences for each virus are available in Supplementary Table S2 ). The diverse BtCoVs were grouped into several novel evolutionary clades that significantly differed from those of all known αand β-CoVs, providing additional evidence to support investigations of the evolution of bat-originated CoVs. With regard to BtParaVs, a previous study has revealed that bats host major mammalian ParaVs in the genera Rubulavirus, Morbillivirus, Henipavirus and the subfamily Pneumovirinae (Drexler et al., 2012) . ./cache/cord-268645-5op2m7pu.txt ./txt/cord-268645-5op2m7pu.txt
