Abstract
We identified a novel Betacoronavirus from bank voles (Myodes glareolus) in Grimsö, Sweden. Repeated detection over three years and an overall prevalence of 3.4% suggests the virus commonly occurs in bank voles. Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses indicate the virus belongs to a highly divergent Embecovirus lineage predominantly associated with bank voles.
