Orbiviruses are arthropod borne viruses of vertebrates, with some of them being important pathogens of veterinary, conservation and economic importance, while others are occasionally associated with human disease. Some apparently bat specific orbiviruses have been detected, but little is known about their distribution and diversity. We thus sampled and screened 52 bats living in the Congo Basin, and detected RNA indicative of a novel orbivirus in a single banana serotine (Afronycteris nanus) by PCR. The detected RNA clusters with epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus, bluetongue virus, and others. The findings highlight the need for more studies into arbovirus presence and diversity in bat species.

刚果共和国 Banana Serotine (Afronycteris nanus) 蝙蝠中的环状病毒 RNA
环状病毒是节肢动物传播的脊椎动物病毒,其中一些是重要的兽医、保护和经济病原体,而另一些偶尔与人类疾病有关。已经检测到一些明显是蝙蝠特有的眼球病毒,但对其分布和多样性知之甚少。因此,我们对生活在刚果盆地的 52 只蝙蝠进行了采样和筛选,并通过 PCR在单个香蕉色氨酸 ( Afronycteris nanus ) 中检测到一种指示新型眼球病毒的 RNA。检测到的 RNA 与流行性出血病病毒、蓝舌病病毒等成簇。这些发现强调需要对蝙蝠物种中虫媒病毒的存在和多样性进行更多研究。
