Ebola virus (EBOV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic virus for which the reservoir host has not been identified. To study the role of dogs as potential hosts, we screened 300 serum samples from dogs in Sierra Leone and found EBOV neutralizing antibodies in 12, suggesting their susceptibility to natural infection.
埃博拉病毒(EBOV)是一种高致病性人畜共患病病毒,其储存宿主尚未确定。为了研究狗作为潜在宿主的作用,我们对塞拉利昂的 300 份血清样本进行了筛查,发现其中 12 份含有埃博拉病毒中和抗体,这表明它们易受自然感染。
