我们在2018年9月在赞比亚捕获的埃及果蝠(Rousettus Aegyptiacus)中检测到马尔堡病毒基因组。该病毒与此前在刚果民主共和国引起马尔堡疫情的病毒有密切的亲缘关系。这一发现表明赞比亚面临马尔堡病毒病的风险。
We detected Marburg virus genome in Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) captured in Zambia in September 2018. The virus was closely related phylogenetically to the viruses that previously caused Marburg outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This finding demonstrates that Zambia is at risk for Marburg virus disease.
