 During a 10-year period, 225 dead bats belonging to 21 different species were collected in Slovenia and tested for lysoviruses. One of these samples was found to contain Devaka batlysovirus, which is a member of the genus Myotis and is closely related to Kotolati batlysovirus. This suggests that Myotis bats may play a significant role in the transmission and maintenance of certain lysoviruses. This article was authored by Daniela Cern, Peter Hosnik, Ivan Toplak, and others.
