TL;DR: Data indicate common Egyptian fruit bats can represent a major natural reservoir and source of Marburg virus with potential for spillover into humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lutwama,Barnabas Bakamutumaho,John Kayiwa,James A. Comer,Pierre E. Rollin,Thomas G. Ksiazek,Stuart T. Nichol +17 more
TL;DR: Due to the sequence divergence of this new virus relative to all previously recognized ebolaviruses, these findings have important implications for design of future diagnostic assays to monitor Ebola HF disease in humans and animals, and ongoing efforts to develop effective antivirals and vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two clusters of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection transmitted through organ transplantation are documented, with a single, unique strain of LCMV identified in each cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Domestic swine in the Philippines, experiencing unusually severe outbreaks of porcine reproductive and respiratory disease syndrome, have now been discovered to host Reston ebolavirus (REBOV), the only member of Filoviridae that has not been associated with disease in humans, its emergence in the human food chain is of concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of two tags at Python Cave from bats marked at Kitaka mine, together with the close genetic linkages evident between viruses detected in geographically distant locations, are consistent with R. aegyptiacus bats existing as a large meta-population with associated virus circulation over broad geographic ranges.
