我们在埃塞俄比亚高地调查了同居的小型哺乳动物作为人类病原体的潜在储存库，发现两种啮齿动物，埃塞俄比亚白脚小鼠和AWASH多哺乳动物小鼠，是新的莫巴拉病毒株的携带者。白脚老鼠还携带一种新的汉坦病毒，这是在非洲发现的第二种与穆里奈病毒相关的汉坦病毒。
We investigated synanthropic small mammals in the Ethiopian Highlands as potential reservoirs for human pathogens and found that 2 rodent species, the Ethiopian white-footed mouse and Awash multimammate mouse, are carriers of novel Mobala virus strains. The white-footed mouse also carries a novel hantavirus, the second Murinae-associated hantavirus found in Africa.
