In this study, samples from bats collected from caves in Ruhengeri, Rwanda, were tested for the presence of coronaand paramyxoviral RNA using reverse transcription PCR assays. Although several surveillance studies have been implemented to detect potential zoonotic viruses in bats, including from countries in the Congo basin and East Africa, limited information is available for Rwanda. Confirmation of species identification of bats, in which viral RNA was detected, was performed by amplifying the cytochrome b (cyt b) or cytochrome oxidase one (COI) gene region and determining the DNA sequence. aegyptiacus-derived viral sequence (BatPV/Rou_aeg/UP438/RWA/2008) grouped within a Henipavirus-related clade and was near identical to a paramyxoviral sequence detected in the same host species previously reported from Kenya [36] . ./cache/cord-270143-muxrxvyo.txt ./txt/cord-270143-muxrxvyo.txt
