  • Commerson's leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros commersoni) is the likely reservoir of Shimoni bat virus 
    Kuzmin, Ivan V.; Turmelle, Amy S.; Agwanda, Bernard; Markotter, Wanda; Niezgoda, Michael; Breiman, Robert F.; Rupprecht, Charles Edward (Mary Ann Liebert, 2011)
    In this study we attempted to identify whether Commerson’s leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros commersoni) is the reservoir of Shimoni bat virus (SHIBV), which was isolated from a bat of this species in 2009. An alternative explanation ...
  • Isolation and molecular characterization of Fikirini rhabdovirus, a novel virus from a Kenyan bat 
    Kading, Rebekah C.; Gilbert, Amy T.; Mossel, Eric C.; Crabtree, Mary B.; Kuzmin, Ivan V.; Niezgoda, Michael; Agwanda, Bernard; Markotter, Wanda; Weil, M. Ryan; Montgomery, Joel M.; Rupprecht, Charles Edward; Miller, Barry R. (Society for General Microbiology, 2013-11)
    Zoonotic and vector-borne pathogens have comprised a significant component of emerging human infections in recent decades, and bats are increasingly recognized as reservoirs for many of these disease agents. To identify ...
  • Lagos bat virus in Kenya 
    Kuzmin, Ivan V.; Niezgoda, Michael; Franka, Richard; Agwanda, Bernard; Markotter, Wanda; Beagley, Janet C.; Urazova, Olga Yu; Breiman, Robert F.; Rupprecht, Charles Edward (American Society for Microbiology, 2008-04)
    During lyssavirus surveillance, 1,221 bats of at least 30 species were collected from 25 locations in Kenya. One isolate of Lagos bat virus (LBV) was obtained from a dead Eidolon helvum fruit bat. The virus was most similar ...
  • Marburg virus in fruit bat, Kenya

  • Novel paramyxoviruses in bats from Sub-Saharan Africa, 2007-2012 
    Mortlock, Marinda; Kuzmin, Ivan V.; Weyer, Jacqueline; Gilbert, Amy T.; Agwanda, Bernard; Rupprecht, Charles Edward; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Kearney, Teresa; Malekani, Jean M.; Markotter, Wanda (Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015-10)
    As part of a larger survey for detection of pathogens among wildlife in sub-Saharan Africa conducted during 2007–2012, multiple diverse paramyxovirus sequences were detected in renal tissues of bats. Phylogenetic analysis ...
  • Possible emergence of West Caucasian Bat virus in Africa 
    Kuzmin, Ivan V.; Niezgoda, Michael; Franka, Richard; Agwanda, Bernard; Markotter, Wanda; Beagley, Janet C.; Urazova, Olga Yu; Breiman, Robert F.; Rupprecht, Charles Edward (Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008-12)
