Genomic characterizations revealed conservation of viral genes across different host species, countries, and sampling years, suggesting a conserved cellular receptor and wide-ranging occurrence of bat influenza A viruses. The segmented influenza A genome facilitates reassortment events in birds or intermediate hosts, such as swine and horses, leading to emergence of new variants potentially capable of causing zoonotic infections (2) . All critical amino acid residues associated with influenza A virus replication and entry (4,5) were conserved between the Brazil and the Peru HL18NL11 strains, including the HA monobasic cleavage site motif PIKETR/GLF (5) . Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the close genetic relationship between Peru and Brazil HL18NL11 variants across all 8 segments (Figure 2 ; Appendix Table 2 ), suggesting lack of reassortment events according to the available data. ./cache/cord-287131-svtdfeop.txt ./txt/cord-287131-svtdfeop.txt
