Bats are considered ideal reservoirs for zoonotic viruses with emerging capabilities over the past two decades and spotted evidence points out that they may play a role as a reservoir host for SARS-CoV-2. To investigate the possible role of bats as part of SARS-CoV-2 anthropozoonotic spill-over infections in Egypt, a total of 800 samples obtained from 200 Egyptian fruit bats () were tested for SARS-CoV-2 using quantitative RT-PCR assay (RT-qPCR). RT-qPCR analysis of RNA extracted from bat tissues showed no positive results for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid. These findings suggest that during the study period, the bat was not a reservoir or amplifying host for SARS-CoV-2 infection in Egypt. The lack of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in Egyptian fruit bats is thought to make a significant contribution to SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology.
在过去二十年里，蝙蝠被认为是具有新出现能力的人畜共患病毒的理想宿主，有明显证据表明它们可能是严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的宿主。为了调查蝙蝠在埃及作为SARS-CoV-2人兽共患病溢出感染一部分的可能作用，使用定量逆转录聚合酶链反应检测法（RT-qPCR）对从200只埃及果蝠采集的总共800份样本进行了SARS-CoV-2检测。对从蝙蝠组织中提取的RNA进行的RT-qPCR分析显示，SARS-CoV-2核酸检测没有阳性结果。这些发现表明，在研究期间，埃及果蝠不是SARS-CoV-2感染的宿主或扩增宿主。埃及果蝠中缺乏SARS-CoV-2核酸被认为对SARS-CoV-2流行病学有重大贡献。
