The frequency and diversity of CoV detection in bats, now in multiple continents, suggest that bats are likely a source for CoV introduction into other species globally and possibly play an important role in the ecology and evolution of CoVs. Recently we reported the identification of 41 divergent CoVs in bats from Kenya, based on limited ORF1b sequences (Tong et al., 2009) . The aa distances in the 816 bp fragment of the RdRp gene from the Kenya bat CoVs described in this study were compared to the aa sequences from their close reference viruses (Table S2) . In conclusion, sequence data for the structural and nonstructural ORFs in the 3 -end of the genome of seven Kenya bat CoVs confirmed the high diversity and their phylogenetical placement into Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus genera.
