First detection of bat-borne Issyk-Kul virus in Europe

First detection of bat-borne Issyk-Kul virus in Europe

Abstract Bats have been gaining attention as potential reservoir hosts of numerous viruses pathogenic to animals and man. Issyk-Kul virus, a member of the family Nairoviridae, was first isolated in the 1970s from vespertilionid bats in Central Asia. Issyk-Kul virus has been described as human-pathog...
