Prevalence of bats of various species that were positive* for CoV RNA at different sites.

*All bats at rural sites #1–16, all bats sampled during 2007 at urban sites #17–21, and all bats sampled from the CDPHE were tested for CoV RNA using the conserved coronavirus primer set. All bats from the genera Myotis and Eptesiscus were also screened with alphacoronavirus primer sets specific for these genera. Bats at urban sites #17–21 collected during 2008–09 were screened only with the species specific primer sets.+CDPHE = samples obtained from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment submitted from Arapahoe (1), Boulder (17), Denver (1), Douglas (1), El Paso (6), Jefferson (13), Larimer (1), Montezuma(1), Pueblo (10) , Routt (1), Weld (1), and unknown (8) counties. Bold type indicates CoV positive bat species. Subsequent tables show subsets of data from animals presented in this table.
