Egyptian rousette bats maintain long-term protective immunity against Marburg virus infection despite diminished antibody levels [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Although bats are natural reservoir hosts for numerous zoonotic viruses, little is known about the long-term dynamics of the host immune response following infection and how these viruses are maintained in nature.

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 ...

Establishment of immortalized Egyptian Rousettus bat cell lines. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Egyptian Rousettus bats serve as a reservoir for pathogens. Fibroblast cell lines K4DT and SV40 were established to overcome the limited cell division of primary bat cells. While three K4DT and one SV40 cell lines were virtually immortalized with normal karyotypes, two SV40 lines had aberrant karyotypes.

Co-Circulation and Excretion Dynamics of Diverse Rubula- and Related Viruses in Egyptian Rousette Bats from South Africa [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
The Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) has previously been implicated as the natural host of a zoonotic rubulavirus; however, its association with rubulaviruses has been studied to a limited extent.

Morphology of the lingual papillae in the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 2012
The dorsal lingual surface of the Egyptian rousette bat was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae were observed. The filiform papillae were distributed over the entire dorsal surface of the tongue. The filiform papillae notably differed in morphology by their location on the tongue and could be classified ...

Excretion dynamics of Henipa-related viruses in the Egyptian Rousette bat and triggers for potential spillover [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Purpose: Influenza affects about 10% of the population every year. In the temperate zone, influenza has a unique seasonal pattern with some variations, however, the factors affecting its seasonality and variations are still unclear.

Marburg Virus Persistence on Fruit as a Plausible Route of Bat to Primate Filovirus Transmission

Viruses, 2021
Marburg virus (MARV), the causative agent of Marburg virus disease, emerges sporadically in sub-Saharan Africa and is often fatal in humas. The natural reservoir for this zoonotic virus is the frugivorous Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus ...

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

Emerg Infect Dis
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 ...
