Discovery of two potential new species and two novel bat-coronavirus subgenera (Phyllacovirus and Phyllobecovirus) in the Neotropics

The paper identifies two new bat coronavirus subgenera and potential species from Neotropical bats using metatranscriptomic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

Genomics insights reveal multi-year maintenance of a new Deltacoronavirus infecting Seabirds from the Cagarras Island Archipelago Natural Monument, Brazil

The paper detects deltacoronaviruses in seabirds from Brazil, identifies full and draft genomes, and finds evidence of long-term viral maintenance through reinfection and immune escape mutations.

Ambecovirus, a novel Betacoronavirus subgenus circulating in neotropical bats sheds new light on bat-borne coronaviruses evolution

The paper identifies a new Betacoronavirus subgenus, Ambecovirus, in Neotropical bats, revealing its phylogenetic position and potential for interspecies transmission.

Detection and full genome sequencing of a Deltacoronavirus and other bird associated viruses from feces of the kelp gull (Larus dominicanus) sampled at the South Shetland Islands Antarctica.

The paper detects a deltacoronavirus in kelp gull fecal samples from Antarctica and sequences its full genome, revealing its classification and potential cross-species transmission.
