Global distribution of bats and their viruses

The bat families present in each continent are symbolized by the color of the bat pictogram.

The number of different bat families identified in each country is represented by the color range (from yellow to red) as indicated. The pie charts show the percentage of bat-associated viruses from a certain family identified in the respective continents according to publicly available sequence data from a database of bat-associated viruses (http://www.mgc.ac.cn/DBatVir/) as of July 16, 2020, and GenBank data from July 16, 2020 to August 25, 2020.
