Abstract
The prevalence of neutralizing antibody against West Caucasian bat virus (WCBV) in Miniopterus bats collected in Kenya ranged from 17% to 26%. Seropositive bats were detected in 4 of 5 locations sampled across the country. These findings provide evidence that WCBV, originally isolated in Europe, may emerge in other continents.
摘要
在肯尼亚采集的长翼蝠中，针对西高加索蝙蝠病毒（WCBV）的中和抗体流行率在17%至26%之间。在该国采样的5个地点中的4个地点检测到了血清阳性蝙蝠。这些发现为最初在欧洲分离出的WCBV可能在其他大陆出现提供了证据。
