Abstract

Eighty-three serum samples were obtained from big brown (Eptesicus fuscus), little brown (Myotis lucifugus), and northern long-eared (Myotis septentriotalis) bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), from New Jersey and New York (USA) between July and October 2002. Samples were analyzed for neutralizing antibodies to West Nile virus (WNV) and St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus. One little brown bat and one northern long-eared bat tested positive for WNV neutralizing antibodies. No bats had antibodies to SLE virus. This was the first large-scale investigation of WNV infection in bats in New Jersey. Additional work is needed to determine the effects of WNV on bat populations.

摘要

2002年7月至10月期间，从美国新泽西州和纽约州的大棕蝠（棕蝠属）、小棕蝠（鼠耳蝠属）和北长耳蝠（鼠耳蝠属）（翼手目：蝙蝠科）中采集了83份血清样本。对样本进行了西尼罗河病毒（WNV）和圣路易斯脑炎（SLE）病毒中和抗体分析。一只小棕蝠和一只北长耳蝠的WNV中和抗体检测呈阳性。没有蝙蝠对SLE病毒产生抗体。这是新泽西州首次对蝙蝠进行的西尼罗河病毒感染大规模调查。需要开展更多工作来确定西尼罗河病毒对蝙蝠种群的影响。
