AB  - Emerging and reemerging infections pose a grave global health threat. The 
      emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic have 
      demonstrated the importance of studying of zoonotic viruses directly in natural 
      foci. For SARS-like coronaviruses, as well as for many other zoonotic pathogens 
      (including hemorrhagic fevers and rabies agents), the main reservoir are 
      horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus spp.), which are widely distributed in Eurasia and 
      Africa. Their range also covers the southern regions of Russia, including the 
      North Caucasus and Crimea. Large colonies of these animals are located on the 
      territory of Sochi National Park (SNP; subtropical zone of Krasnodar Territory, 
      Greater Sochi region, North Caucasus). In total, according to long-term 
      observations, up to 23 species of bats were registered here, including the great 
      (Rh. ferrumequinum), the lesser (Rh. hipposideros), and the Mediterranean (Rh. 
      euryale) horseshoe bats.This review provides information on zoonotic viruses 
      associated with species of bats distributed in the subtropical zone of Krasnodar 
      Territory of Russia, and analyzes their possible role as a natural reservoir of 
      emerging and reemerging infections. Studying the circulation of zoonotic viruses 
      in bats is an important element of monitoring viral populations in natural foci.
