To determine seroprevalence of viruses in bats in Papua New Guinea, we sampled 66 bats at 3 locations. We found a seroprevalence of 55% for henipavirus (Hendra or Nipah virus) and 56% for rubulavirus (Tioman or Menangle virus). Notably, 36% of bats surveyed contained antibodies to both types of viruses, indicating concurrent or consecutive infection.
为了确定巴布亚新几内亚蝙蝠中病毒的血清阳性率,我们在 3 个地点对 66 只蝙蝠进行了采样。我们发现亨德拉病毒或尼帕病毒的血清阳性率为 55%,风疹病毒或蒂曼病毒的血清阳性率为 56%。值得注意的是,36%的受调查蝙蝠同时含有两种病毒的抗体,表明存在同时或连续感染。
