To determine geographic range for Ebola virus, we tested 276 bats in Bangladesh. Five (3.5%) bats were positive for antibodies against Ebola Zaire and Reston viruses; no virus was detected by PCR. These bats might be a reservoir for Ebola or Ebola-like viruses, and extend the range of filoviruses to mainland Asia.
为了确定埃博拉病毒的地理范围，我们在孟加拉国测试了 276 只蝙蝠。其中 5 只（3.5%）蝙蝠对埃博拉扎伊尔病毒和雷斯顿病毒的抗体呈阳性；PCR 未检测到病毒。这些蝙蝠可能是埃博拉或埃博拉样病毒的宿主，并将丝状病毒的范围扩展到亚洲大陆。
