Currently, bats have been considered to be natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, NiV, HeV, Ebola virus, and Marburg viruses. The viruses discussed above tend to be restricted to certain geographic regions with a particular bat reservoir, such as HeV and NiV associated with flying foxes in Australia and Southeast Asia and Ebola virus associated with Egyptian fruit bats in Africa. Bats have been proposed as the natural reservoirs of viruses causing severe diseases in humans, such as NiV and HeV in Southeast Asia and Australia, Ebola and Marburg viruses in Africa, SARS-CoV in Asia and MERS-CoV in Middle East.	./cache/cord-303941-3lg1bzsi.txt	./txt/cord-303941-3lg1bzsi.txt
