Fruit bats are suspected to be a natural reservoir of filoviruses, including Ebola and Marburg viruses. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the viral glycoprotein antigens, we detected filovirus-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies in 71 of 748 serum samples collected from migratory fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) in Zambia during 2006-2013. Although antibodies to African filoviruses (eg, Zaire ebolavirus) were most prevalent, some serum samples showed distinct specificity for Reston ebolavirus, which that has thus far been found only in Asia. Interestingly, the transition of filovirus species causing outbreaks in Central and West Africa during 2005-2014 seemed to be synchronized with the change of the serologically dominant virus species in these bats. These data suggest the introduction of multiple species of filoviruses in the migratory bat population and point to the need for continued surveillance of filovirus infection of wild animals in sub-Saharan Africa, including hitherto nonendemic countries.
果蝠被怀疑是包括埃博拉病毒和马尔堡病毒在内的丝状病毒的天然宿主。我们使用基于病毒糖蛋白抗原的酶联免疫吸附试验,在2006年至2013年期间从赞比亚迁徙果蝠(锤头果蝠)采集的748份血清样本中的71份中检测到了丝状病毒特异性免疫球蛋白G抗体。尽管针对非洲丝状病毒(如扎伊尔埃博拉病毒)的抗体最为普遍,但一些血清样本对雷斯顿埃博拉病毒表现出明显的特异性,而雷斯顿埃博拉病毒迄今仅在亚洲被发现。有趣的是,2005年至2014年期间在中非和西非引发疫情的丝状病毒种类的转变似乎与这些蝙蝠血清学上占主导地位的病毒种类的变化同步。这些数据表明迁徙蝙蝠种群中引入了多种丝状病毒,并指出需要继续监测撒哈拉以南非洲野生动物的丝状病毒感染情况,包括迄今非流行国家。
