Bats have been gaining attention as potential reservoir hosts of numerous viruses pathogenic to animals and man. Issyk-Kul virus, a member of the family Nairoviridae, was first isolated in the 1970s from vespertilionid bats in Central Asia. Issyk-Kul virus has been described as human-pathogenic virus, causing febrile outbreaks in humans with headaches, myalgia and nausea. Here we describe the detection of a novel strain of Issyk-Kul virus from Eptesicus nilssonii in Germany. This finding indicates for the first time the prevalence of these zoonotic viruses in Europe.
蝙蝠一直是研究热点，它们可能是许多动物和人类病原体病毒的潜在宿主。伊塞克库尔病毒，属于纳罗病毒科，于 20 世纪 70 年代首次从中亚的蝙蝠中分离得到。伊塞克库尔病毒被认为是一种人类致病病毒，引起人类发热、头痛、肌痛和恶心。在此，我们描述了在德国从伊氏伏翼中检测到一种新型伊塞克库尔病毒。这一发现首次表明这些人畜共患病病毒在欧洲流行。
