Emerging infectious diseases, 2009•ncbi.nlm.nih.govDiverse coronaviruses have been identified in bats from several continents but not from
Africa. We identified group 1 and 2 coronaviruses in bats in Kenya, including SARS-related
coronaviruses. The sequence diversity suggests that bats are well-established reservoirs for
and likely sources of coronaviruses for many species, including humans.

Abstract
Diverse coronaviruses have been identified in bats from several continents but not from Africa. We identified group 1 and 2 coronaviruses in bats in Kenya, including SARS-related coronaviruses. The sequence diversity suggests that bats are well-established reservoirs for and likely sources of coronaviruses for many species, including humans.
