Can Bats Serve as Reservoirs for Arboviruses?	2019-03-03		.txt	text/plain	8738	492	43	No demonstrable pathologic effects noted during infection of three bat species [big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus), little brown bats (Myotis lucifigus) and Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensie mexicana) with various strains of JBEV or St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) [69] . While experimental data demonstrated that some bat species can sustain JBEV infections and support mosquito-borne transmission of this virus, the epidemiological significance of these observations in the field remains unclear. To truly elucidate the role of bats as reservoirs for arboviruses, field surveillance studies documenting natural infection and transmission dynamics among vector and vertebrate species must be supplemented with experimental infections to characterize viremia profiles and infectiousness to vectors, virus-induced pathology, and immune kinetics following infection. The isolation of Marburg virus from Egyptian rousette bats in Uganda in addition to experimental infections demonstrating viremia and shedding in the absence of overt pathology support the role of this bat species as the reservoir for Marburg virus [6, 7, 208] .	./cache/cord-334027-xhfmio7k.txt	./txt/cord-334027-xhfmio7k.txt
