Modelling filovirus maintenance in nature by experimental transmission of Marburg virus between Egyptian rousette bats
Bats are natural hosts for Marburg virus (MARV), but the mechanism of bat-to-bat transmission is unclear. Here, Schuhet al. monitor MARV infection in a cohort of 38 bats over nine months, find ‘supershedders’ and show that MARV can horizontally transmit between bats.
