Detection and Characterization of an H9N2 Influenza A Virus in the Egyptian Rousette Bat in Limpopo, South Africa [PDF]

Viruses, 2023
In recent years, bats have been shown to host various novel bat-specific influenza viruses, including H17N10 and H18N11 in the Americas and the H9N2 subtype from Africa.

Transcriptomics Reveal Antiviral Gene Induction in the Egyptian Rousette Bat Is Antagonized in Vitro by Marburg Virus Infection [PDF]

Viruses, 2018
The Egyptian rousette bat (ERB) is the only known Marburg virus (MARV) reservoir host. ERBs develop a productive MARV infection with low viremia and shedding but no overt disease, suggesting this virus is efficiently controlled by ERB antiviral responses.

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

Activation of RNase L in Egyptian Rousette Bat-Derived RoNi/7 Cells Is Dependent Primarily on OAS3 and Independent of MAVS Signaling. [PDF]

MBio, 2019
Bats are reservoirs for many RNA viruses that are highly pathogenic in humans yet relatively apathogenic in the natural host. It has been suggested that differences in innate immunity are responsible.

Marburg and Sudan Viruses Elicit Divergent Interferon Responses and Cytokine Storm Signaling in Egyptian Rousette Bat Macrophages [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionEgyptian rousette bats (ERBs) are the only known natural reservoir of Marburg virus (MARV), etiologic agent of a highly-pathogenic zoonotic viral hemorrhagic fever.

Characterization of Ravn Virus Viral Shedding Dynamics in Experimentally Infected Egyptian Rousette Bats (Rousettus Aegypticus). [PDF]

Journal of Virology
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-Saharan Africa ...

Gastrointestinal Shedding of Rubulaviruses From Egyptian Rousette Bats: Temporal Dynamics and Spillover Implications [PDF]

Microorganisms
Bats are recognized as reservoirs for diverse paramyxoviruses, some of which are closely related to known human pathogens or directly implicated in zoonotic transmission. The emergence of the zoonotic Sosuga virus (SOSV) from Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs)

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 ...

Tick salivary gland components dampen Kasokero virus infection and shedding in its vertebrate reservoir, the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background The human-pathogenic Kasokero virus (KASV) circulates in an enzootic transmission cycle between Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs; Rousettus aegyptiacus) and their argasid tick ectoparasites, Ornithodoros (Reticulinasus) faini.

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

Scientific Reports
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 ...
