Abstract
We report novel and previously identified alphacoronavirus (-CoV) diversity in three phyllostomid bat species (Desmodus rotundus, Carollia sowelli, and Sturnira parvidens) in Belize. Phylogenetic analysis suggests strong similarity between two Neotropical bat -CoV lineages and human CoVs (229E and NL63) compared to prior bat -CoVs.
