Abstract

We sequenced sarbecovirus from Rhinolophus spp. bats in Bandarban District, Bangladesh, in a genomic surveillance campaign during 2022-2023. Sequences shared identity with SARS-CoV-1 Tor2, which caused an outbreak of human illnesses in 2003. Describing the genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of reservoir pathogens can aid in identifying sources of future spillovers.

Keywords: Bangladesh; SARS-CoV-1; angiotensin converting enzyme 2; coronaviruses; rhinolophus; vector-borne infections; viruses; zoonoses.
