(a) Map of Costa Rica showing the 11 locations where bat sampling was conducted. Sites were at least 10 km. apart from each other. Five of the seven provinces were sampled. Letters indicate each site. (b) Phylogenetic relationships based on a 440‐nt sequence in a conserved region of gene 1b. Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree generated using TN93 + G Model using Mr Bayes 3.2.1 software. The numbers on the branches correspond to posterior probabilities. Black circles correspond to subtrees of CoV found in the same species of bat. Constructed with 4 million generations. Costa Rican sequences found in this work are shown encased. Scale bar at the lower left indicates 0.2 nucleotide substitutions per site.
