Novel insights into bat influenza A viruses
In 2012 and 2013, influenza virus genome sequences of two new influenza A virus (IAV) subtypes were discovered in bat specimens, but further characterization was largely impeded by the lack of infectious virus. With the identification of highly susceptible cell lines, reconstitution of infectious bat IAV by reverse genetics recently succeeded and allowed a first insight into the life cycle of t...
متن کاملPotential for Introduction of Bat-Borne Zoonotic Viruses into the EU: A Review
Bat-borne viruses can pose a serious threat to human health, with examples including Nipah virus (NiV) in Bangladesh and Malaysia, and Marburg virus (MARV) in Africa. To date, significant human outbreaks of such viruses have not been reported in the European Union (EU). However, EU countries have strong historical links with many of the countries where NiV and MARV are present and a correspondi...
متن کاملNovel Bat-borne Hantavirus, Vietnam
To the Editor: Compelling evidence of genetically distinct hantavi-ruses (family Bunyaviridae) in multiple species of shrews and moles (order Soricomorpha, families Soricidae and Talpidae) across 4 continents (1–7) suggests that soricomorphs, rather than rodents (order Rodentia, families Muridae and Cricetidae), might be the primordial hosts (6,7). Recently, the host range of hantaviruses has b...
متن کاملInfluenza A viruses: an ecology review
In humans, influenza A viruses cause yearly outbreaks with high morbidity and excess fatality rates as a direct effect. Placed in its ecological niche, however - in dabbling ducks - avian influenza virus (AIV) induces quite a mild disease. It is when the virus crosses the species barrier that pathogenic traits are attributed to infection. When infecting phylogenetically more distant species (i....
