“…This association may be attributed to a lengthy co-evolution period between bats and lyssaviruses. Due to limited susceptibility (Warrilow et al, 2003), a majority of exposures may lead to the development of immunity, caused by peripheral virus activity and abortive clearance rather than by central nervous system infection (Shankar et al, 2004). All bats collected in our study were apparently healthy.…”

“…Serological surveys of several viruses have been conducted using bat sera collected in the field; however, most of the surveys were performed using a NT or fluorescent antibody tests [2][3][4][5]27]. Obtaining sufficient volumes of blood necessary for these serological tests is difficult, particularly in smaller species including microbats.…”

To reveal whether bats serve as an amplifying host for Yokose virus (YOKV), we conducted a serological survey and experimentally infected fruit bats with YOKV isolated from microbats in Japan. YOKV belongs to the Entebbe bat virus group of vector unknown group within the genus Flavivirus and family Flaviviridae. To detect antibodies against YOKV, we developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using biotinylated anti-bat IgG rabbit sera. Serological surveillance was conducted with samples collected in the Philippines and the sera supplied from Malaysia. One of the 36 samples from the Philippines (2.7%) and 5 of the 26 samples from Malaysia (19%) had detectable ELISA antibodies. In the experimental infections, no clinical signs of disease were observed. Moreover, no significant viral genome amplification was detected. These findings revealed that YOKV replicates poorly in the fruit bat, suggesting that fruit bats do not seem to serve as an amplifying host for YOKV.

“…Prevalence of ABLV is low in the wild bat population (,1%), but is between 5% and 10% in sick, injured, or orphaned bats. 1,7 Transmission to humans is believed to occur through direct inoculation of saliva from an infected primary host, typically via a bite or scratch. Wide variation in incubation periods have been observed in human rabies, from 5 days to 7 years.…”
