The latest advancements in Sosuga virus (SOSV) research
The last 60 years have seen the emergence of several zoonotic viruses, some of which originate from bats. Among these are Nipah virus, Marburg virus and Ebola viruses, which have high case fatality rates, and pose significant public health risks. In 2012,

Coordinated inflammatory responses dictate Marburg virus control by reservoir bats
Bats are increasingly recognized as reservoirs of emerging zoonotic pathogens. Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs) are the known reservoir of Marburg virus (MARV), a filovirus that causes deadly Marburg virus disease (MVD) in humans.
