Various hantaviruses have been discovered in unconventional hosts (shrews and bats) in Africa. Up to now, it was unknown whether these viruses pose a threat for human health. In this study, using newly established serological assays, we demonstrated evidence of shrew-borne hantavirus infections in humans from Côte d'Ivoire and Gabon.
在非洲的非常规宿主(鼩鼱和蝙蝠)中发现了各种汉坦病毒。到目前为止,还不清楚这些病毒是否对人类健康构成威胁。在这项研究中,我们使用新建立的血清学检测方法,在来自科特迪瓦和加蓬的人类中证实了存在鼩鼱携带的汉坦病毒感染。
