Co-Infections with Orthomarburgviruses, Paramyxoviruses, and Orthonairoviruses in Egyptian Rousette Bats, Uganda and Sierra Leone [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We report 1.3% (19/1,511) of Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs) in Uganda and Sierra Leone were co-infected with different combinations of Marburg, Sosuga, Kasokero, or Yogue viruses. To prevent infection by those viruses, we recommend avoiding ERB-populated areas, avoiding ERBs and ERB-contaminated objects, and thoroughly washing harvested fruits before ...

Isolation of Angola-like Marburg virus from Egyptian rousette bats from West Africa [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
AbstractMarburg virus (MARV) causes sporadic outbreaks of severe Marburg virus disease (MVD). Most MVD outbreaks originated in East Africa and field studies in East Africa, South Africa, Zambia, and Gabon identified the Egyptian rousette bat (ERB; Rousettus aegyptiacus) as a natural reservoir. However, the largest recorded MVD outbreak with the highest

Micro‒Global Positioning Systems for Identifying Nightly Opportunities for Marburg Virus Spillover to Humans by Egyptian Rousette Bats [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Marburg virus disease, caused by Marburg and Ravn orthomarburgviruses, emerges sporadically in sub-Saharan Africa and is often fatal in humans. The natural reservoir is the Egyptian rousette bat (ERB), which sheds virus in saliva, urine, and feces.

Exposure of Egyptian Rousette Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and a Little Free-Tailed Bat (Chaerephon pumilus) to Alphaviruses in Uganda [PDF]

Diseases, 2022
The reservoir for zoonotic o’nyong-nyong virus (ONNV) has remained unknown since this virus was first recognized in Uganda in 1959. Building on existing evidence for mosquito blood-feeding on various frugivorous bat species in Uganda, and seroprevalence for arboviruses among bats in Uganda, we sought to assess if serum samples collected from bats in ...

Serum proteome of the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) reveals signatures of immunity, proteostasis, and metabolism [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Abstract Bats are increasingly studied for their ability to coexist with diverse viruses of human health importance. While this focus has yielded insights into host–pathogen dynamics, baseline physiological data from healthy bats remain limited, constraining comparative and mechanistic understanding.

The Egyptian Rousette Genome Reveals Unexpected Features of Bat Antiviral Immunity [PDF]

Cell, 2018
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats harbor many viruses asymptomatically, including several notorious for causing extreme virulence in humans. To identify differences between antiviral mechanisms in humans and bats, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the genome of Rousettus aegyptiacus, a natural reservoir of Marburg virus and ...

Characterization of Ravn virus viral shedding dynamics in experimentally infected Egyptian rousette bats ( Rousettus aegypticus ) [PDF]

Journal of Virology
ABSTRACT Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV), the only two known members of the species Orthomarburgvirus marburgense (family Filoviridae ), are causative agents of Marburg virus disease, a severe viral disease that typically emerges in sub-

Clinical, Histopathologic, and Immunohistochemical Characterization of Experimental Marburg Virus Infection in A Natural Reservoir Host, the Egyptian Rousette Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Egyptian rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) are natural reservoir hosts of Marburg virus (MARV), and Ravn virus (RAVV; collectively called marburgviruses) and have been linked to human cases of Marburg virus disease (MVD). We investigated the clinical

Viral maintenance and excretion dynamics of coronaviruses within an Egyptian rousette fruit bat maternal colony: considerations for spillover [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractNovel coronavirus species of public health and veterinary importance have emerged in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, with bats identified as natural hosts for progenitors of many coronaviruses. Targeted wildlife surveillance is needed to identify the factors involved in viral perpetuation within natural host populations, and ...
