New members of the influenza A virus genus have been detected recently in bats from South America. By molecular investigations, using a generic real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) that detects all previously known influenza A virus subtypes (H1-H16) and a newly developed RT-qPCR specific for the South American bat influenza-like virus of subtype H17, a total of 1571 samples obtained from 1369 individual bats of 26 species from Central Europe were examined. No evidence for the occurrence of such influenza viruses was found. Further attempts towards a more comprehensive evaluation of the role of bats in the ecology and epidemiology of influenza viruses should be based on more intense monitoring efforts. However, given the protected status of bats, not only in Europe, such activities need to be embedded into existing pathogen-monitoring programs.
最近在南美洲的蝙蝠中检测到甲型流感病毒属的新成员。通过分子研究，使用一种能检测所有先前已知甲型流感病毒亚型（H1 - H16）的通用实时逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT - qPCR）以及一种新开发的针对H17亚型南美蝙蝠类流感病毒的RT - qPCR，对从来自中欧26个物种的1369只个体蝙蝠身上获取的总共1571份样本进行了检测。未发现此类流感病毒存在的证据。为更全面评估蝙蝠在流感病毒生态学和流行病学中的作用而进行的进一步尝试应基于更密集的监测工作。然而，鉴于蝙蝠不仅在欧洲受到保护，此类活动需要纳入现有的病原体监测项目中。
