Highlights
Zhu H, Zhou B, Fan X, Lam TT, Wang J, Chen A, et al Novel reassortment of Eurasian Avian-like and pandemic/2009 influenza viruses in swine: infectious potential to humans
The 439-nt sequence of this virus has 71% nt identity to the novel human group C betacoronavirus MERS-CoV and 72% nt identity to various group D betacoronaviruses detected in Rousettus, Pipistrellus, and Tylonycteris bats in the Philippines, China, and Kenya (Figure)
Boxes surround the novel alphacoronavirus detected in Molossus rufus and M. molossus bat specimens from São Paulo state in southeastern Brazil, and the novel betacoronavirus detected in a specimen from a Pteronotus davyi bat from Jalisco state in midwestern Mexico
Summary
9. Zhu H, Zhou B, Fan X, Lam TT, Wang J, Chen A, et al Novel reassortment of Eurasian Avian-like and pandemic/2009 influenza viruses in swine: infectious potential to humans. To the Editor: Bats are recognized as natural reservoirs for many families of viruses that can cross species barriers and cause emerging diseases of humans and animals. Protecting humans against emerging diseases relies on identifying natural reservoirs for such viruses and surveillance for host-jumping events.
