Abstract
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a diverse group of RNA viruses that infect a broad range of hosts, including many bat species. The emergence of several CoVs, specifically α-CoVs and β-coVs causing significant human and domestic animal diseases, has been linked to bats. Characterizing the evolutionary relationships and host associations of bat-borne CoVs is crucial for understanding and mitigating zoonotic risks. While most bat CoV research has focused on the Eastern Hemisphere, the diversity of CoVs in Neotropical bats remains relatively understudied. Here, we report novel and previously identified α-CoV diversity in three phyllostomid bats ( Desmodus rotundus , Carollia sowelli , and Sturnira parvidens ) in Belize. Our analysis targeting the partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene revealed varying prevalence (22.22 - 36.36 %) across these species. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests strong similarity between two Neotropical bat α-CoV lineages and human CoVs (229E and NL63), illustrating new evolutionary relationships compared to prior bat α-CoVs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
