Hantaviruses cause life-threatening diseases in human worldwide. Rodents, insectivores and bats are known hantaviral reservoirs, but lack of complete genomic sequences of bat-borne hantaviruses impedes phylogenetic and evolutionary comparison with those of rodents and insectivores. Here, a novel bat-borne hantavirus, Laibin virus (LBV), has been identified in a black-bearded tomb bat in China. The complete genomic sequence shows that LBV is only distantly related to all previously known bat-borne hantaviruses.
汉坦病毒在全球范围内可引发危及生命的人类疾病。啮齿动物、食虫动物和蝙蝠是已知的汉坦病毒宿主,但缺乏蝙蝠携带的汉坦病毒的完整基因组序列,这阻碍了与啮齿动物和食虫动物携带的汉坦病毒进行系统发育和进化比较。在此,在中国一只黑髯墓蝠中鉴定出一种新型蝙蝠携带的汉坦病毒——来宾病毒(LBV)。完整的基因组序列表明,LBV与所有先前已知的蝙蝠携带的汉坦病毒仅有远缘关系。
