Answer

Rotaviruses. 1, 2, 3

  • Algorithmic reasoning:
    • Coronaviruses: repeatedly documented as emerging from bats (e.g., SARS/MERS-related bat reservoirs) 1, 2.
    • Filoviruses: Ebola/Marburg linked to bats as reservoirs/spillover hosts 3.
    • Hepatitis viruses: bat-associated hepaciviruses/HDV-like agents discussed in bat zoonosis literature; bat links to hepatitis-related viruses are reported 4, 5.
    • Rotaviruses: although bat rotavirus A strains exist, “emerging from bats” as human-emerging pathogens is not emphasized in Tian et al.-type syntheses; thus, rotaviruses are the option NOT mentioned as emerging from bats 6.
