Description
Oscar Cortes-Azuero and co-authors map the genetic diversity of Nipah virus across spatial scales. Their 2024 study deals with a highly lethal virus that circulates in Pteropus bats across South and Southeast Asia.
Getting viral genomes from bats is hard, so diversity was poorly known. The team applied phylogenetic methods to the largest genome collection to date, with samples from bats and humans in six countries over more than twenty years. They split the four major sublineages into fifteen genetic clusters. Within any bat roost, about two or three clusters circulate together on average, rising at larger areas. Such maps help predict where new spillovers may arise.
