High Throughput Sequencing and Discovery of Novel Bat Viruses: Insights for Biosurveillance in anImportant Virus Reservoir

Abstract

Bats are rich reservoirs of viruses, including viruses associated with several high-consequencezoonoses. High-throughput sequencing and hybridization-based target enrichment sequencingwere used to characterize the virome of a captive colony of fruit nectar bats, lesser dawn bats(Eonycteris spelaea) in Singapore through a longitudinal study, and a wild bat population ofcyclops roundleaf bats (Hipposideros cyclops) in Uganda.
