Global genetic patterns reveal host tropism versus cross-taxon transmission of bat Betacoronaviruses	2020-05-05		.txt	text/plain	1025	71	50	Emerging infectious diseases due to coronavirus (CoV) infections have received significant global attention in the past decade and have been linked to bats as the original source. As such, deviant patterns were observed such as for 2D-IV, wherein cross-taxon transmission due to overlap in bat habitats and geographic range among genetically divergent African bat hosts could have played a strong role on their shared CoV lineages. In fact, a few bat taxa especially the subfamily Pteropodinae were shown to host diverse groups of BetaCoVs. Therefore, ecological imbalances that disturb bat distribution may lead to loss of host specificity through cross-taxon transmission and multi-CoV infection. Importance Bat Betacoronaviruses (BetaCoVs) pose a significant threat to global public health and have been implicated in several epidemics such as the recent pandemic by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Although bat BetaCoVs are host taxon-specific, their evolutionary pathways are different from evolution with its host.	./cache/cord-309512-d8n9711b.txt	./txt/cord-309512-d8n9711b.txt
