We detected Marburg virus genome in Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) captured in Zambia in September 2018. The virus was closely related phylogenetically to the viruses that previously caused Marburg outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This finding demonstrates that Zambia is at risk for Marburg virus disease.
我们在 2018 年 9 月于赞比亚捕获的埃及果蝠(Rousettus aegyptiacus)中检测到马尔堡病毒基因组。该病毒在系统进化上与先前导致刚果民主共和国马尔堡疫情的病毒密切相关。这一发现表明赞比亚存在马尔堡病毒病的风险。
