Phylogenetic analysis supports the presence of at least 2 major viral lineages and suggests that paramyxoviruses are strongly associated with several bat genera.enCoordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and PreventionSub-Saharan AfricaBatsDetection of pathogensRenal tissuesPhylogenetic analysisViral lineagesParamyxovirusesArticle
