SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses and alphacoronaviruses in a multispecies bat colony in Croatia

Here we report bat Alpha- and betacoronavirus discovered in bat guano from a multispecies bat colony in Croatia. Discovered bat betaCoV sequence was clustered with SARS-CoV-2-related Sarbecoviruses, which is confirmed by partial RdRp sequencing and NGS. Discovered bat alphaCoV was clustered with other alphaCoVs from the Minunacovirus subgenus.
