Identification of a new alphacoronavirus (Coronaviridae: <i>Alphacoronavirus</i>) associated with the greater horseshoe bat (<i>Rhinolophus ferrumequinum</i>) in the south of European part of Russia
Our findings expand the understanding of the distribution of bat alphacoronaviruses and their genetic diversity. We demonstrate the presence of a persistent natural foci of two potentially zoonotic bat coronaviruses, ecologically associated with <i>R. ferrumequinum</i> in the southern European part of Russia.
