Bats have been increasingly gaining attention as potential reservoir hosts of some of the most virulent viruses known. Numerous review articles summarize bats as potential reservoir hosts of human-pathogenic zoonotic viruses. For European bats, just one review article is available that we published in 2014. The present review provides an update on the earlier article and summarizes the most important viruses found in European bats and their possible implications for Public Health. We identify the research gaps and recommend monitoring of these viruses.
蝙蝠作为一些已知最具毒性病毒的潜在宿主，越来越受到关注。众多综述文章将蝙蝠总结为人类致病性人畜共患病毒的潜在宿主。对于欧洲蝙蝠，只有我们在2014年发表的一篇综述文章。本综述对早期文章进行了更新，总结了在欧洲蝙蝠中发现的最重要病毒及其对公共卫生的可能影响。我们确定了研究空白并建议对这些病毒进行监测。
