In following years, SL-CoV RNA was detected in Rhinoluphus species of a wider geographic range in China. The provinces or regions where SL-CoV-positive  bats were captured included Hong Kong, Guangxi, Hubei , Shandong, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Yunnan. 7 conserved replicase domains in orflab of these SL-CoVs found in Chinawere compared with those  of SARS-CoV. They all shared higher than 95% amino acid sequence identity with SARS_CoV in the concatenated domains and therefore can be considered to belong to SARS-CoV species.
