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 ...
