New Ebola-like virus found in a Chinese bat’s liver
The Měnglà virus can infect human cells but the risk of its transmission
from bats to humans is unknown.
在中國蝙蝠肝臟中發現新的類伊波拉病毒
這個勐臘病毒可以感染人類細胞但是從蝙蝠傳到人的風險未知
A relative of the Ebola virus has been discovered in a bat captured in China
— and has been shown to infect cells from various mammals, including humans.
在中國捕獲的蝙蝠中發現一個可以感染許多哺乳類(包含人)的類伊波拉病毒
Ebola virus, Marburg virus and other members of the ‘filovirus’ family
cause severe bleeding and organ failure. In Africa, at least one species
of bat is known to host Marburg virus, and a number of bat species
are suspected of carrying Ebola virus.
絲狀病毒中的伊波拉病毒跟馬爾堡病毒會造成嚴重出血跟器官衰竭
在非洲已知一種蝙蝠為馬爾堡病毒宿主，許多種蝙蝠則為伊波拉可能性宿主
To learn more about bats’ role in the spread of filoviruses,
Lin-Fa Wang at the Duke–NUS Medical School in Singapore, Zheng-Li Shi
at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan and their colleagues
examined a Rousettus fruit bat caught in southern China.
The bat’s liver contained a new type of filovirus that the researchers
named Měnglà virus for the county where the bat was captured.
Měnglà is substantially different from both Ebola and Marburg virus,
highlighting the genetic diversity
of filoviruses in bats.
為了了解蝙蝠在絲狀病毒散播中的角色
Lin-Fa Wang跟Zheng-Li Shi檢查了在中國南部捉到的果蝠
這蝙蝠的肝臟帶有一種新的絲狀病毒，於是用發現蝙蝠的地區"勐臘"命名這個新病毒
勐臘病毒"本質上"跟伊波拉和馬爾堡病毒不同
顯示感染蝙蝠的絲狀病毒具有高基因歧異度
The team found that the virus can infect cells from monkeys, hamsters,
dogs and humans. Research is needed to determine what the risk is of
Měnglà virus spreading beyond bats, the authors say.
研究團隊發現勐臘病毒可以感染 猴子、倉鼠、狗跟人類細胞
作者表示從蝙蝠傳播出來的風險仍需要更進一步研究
