Filovirus-reactive antibodies in humans and bats in Northeast India imply zoonotic spillover.

Filovirus-reactive antibodies in humans and bats in Northeast India imply zoonotic spillover.

Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic pathogens, including filoviruses. Recent work highlights the diversity of bat borne filoviruses in Asia. High risk activities at the bat-human interface pose the threat of zoonotic virus transmission. We present evidence for prior exposure of bat harvesters a...
