Description
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) ABSTRACT
During a survey in the year 2010, a novel phlebovirus was isolated from the
Rousettus leschenaultii
species of bats in western India. The virus was identified by electron microscopy from infected Vero E6 cells. Phylogenic analysis of the complete genome showed its close relation to severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and Heartland viruses, which makes it imperative to further study its natural ecology and potential as a novel emerging zoonotic virus.
