Shedding of Marburg virus in naturally infected Egyptian rousette bats, South Africa, 2017

We detected Marburg virus RNA in rectal swab samples from Egyptian rousette bats in South Africa in 2017. This finding signifies that fecal contamination of natural bat habitats is a potential source of infection for humans. Identified genetic sequences are closely related to Ravn virus, implying wider distribution of Marburg virus in AfricaThe South African National Research Foundation; the Poliomyelitis Research Foundation; the Division of Global Disease Detection, Center for Global Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency; and the US Defense Biological Product Assurance Office.http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eidpm2021Medical Virolog
