Abstract
As part of a larger survey for detection of pathogens among
wildlife in sub-Saharan Africa conducted during 2007–2012,
multiple diverse paramyxovirus sequences were detected
in renal tissues of bats. Phylogenetic analysis supports the
presence of at least 2 major viral lineages and suggests
that paramyxoviruses are strongly associated with several
bat genera.
