We retrieved Nipah virus (NiV) sequences from 4 human and 3 fruit bat (Pteropus medius) samples from a 2018 outbreak in Kerala, India. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that NiV from humans was 96.15% similar to a Bangladesh strain but 99.7%-100% similar to virus from Pteropus spp. bats, indicating bats were the source of the outbreak.
我们从印度喀拉拉邦 2018 年的一次疫情中,检索到了 4 个人类和 3 只果蝠(Pteropus medius)样本中的尼帕病毒(NiV)序列。系统进化分析表明,人类感染的 NiV 与孟加拉国的病毒株相似性为 96.15%,但与 Pteropus spp.蝙蝠的病毒株相似性为 99.7%-100%,表明蝙蝠是疫情的源头。
