Certain bats species have previously been identified as ancestral sources of coronaviruses that infect humans but there is limited data on the genomic diversity or zoonotic potential of viruses infecting bats in the UK. Here, the authors use deep sequencing and in vitro assays to characterise coronaviruses recovered from 48 bat faecal samples.
