We report the detection of batborne hantaviruses in 2 bat species (Aselliscus stoliczkanus and Hipposideros gentilis) in Laos, expanding the known geographic distribution of hantaviruses in Southeast Asia. Given the frequent human-wildlife contact in the region, researchers should continue to characterize the viruses and investigate their zoonotic potential.
我们报告了在老挝的两种蝙蝠（斯氏鼠耳蝠和中菊头蝠）中检测到蝙蝠传播的汉坦病毒，这扩大了汉坦病毒在东南亚已知的地理分布范围。鉴于该地区人类与野生动物的频繁接触，研究人员应继续对这些病毒进行特征描述，并调查它们的人畜共患病潜力。
