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.
在中国蝙蝠肝脏中发现新的类伊波拉病毒
这个勐腊病毒可以感染人类细胞但是从蝙蝠传到人的风险未知
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.
在中国捕获的蝙蝠中发现一个可以感染许多哺乳类(包含人)的类伊波拉病毒
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.
丝状病毒中的伊波拉病毒跟马尔堡病毒会造成严重出血跟器官衰竭
在非洲已知一种蝙蝠为马尔堡病毒宿主,许多种蝙蝠则为伊波拉可能性宿主
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.
为了了解蝙蝠在丝状病毒散播中的角色
Lin-Fa Wang跟Zheng-Li Shi检查了在中国南部捉到的果蝠
这蝙蝠的肝脏带有一种新的丝状病毒,于是用发现蝙蝠的地区"勐腊"命名这个新病毒
勐腊病毒"本质上"跟伊波拉和马尔堡病毒不同
显示感染蝙蝠的丝状病毒具有高基因歧异度
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.
研究团队发现勐腊病毒可以感染 猴子、仓鼠、狗跟人类细胞
作者表示从蝙蝠传播出来的风险仍需要更进一步研究
