• Description:
  Compelling evidence of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family Bunyaviridae) in multiple species of shrews and moles (order Soricomorpha, families Soricidae and Talpidae) across 4 continents (1–7) suggests that soricomorphs, rather than rodents (order Rodentia, families Muridae and Cricetidae), might be the primordial hosts (6,7). Recently, the host range of hantaviruses has been further expanded by the discovery that insectivorous bats (order Chiroptera) also serve as reservoirs (8,9). Conjecturing that Mouyassué virus in the banana pipistrelle (Neoromicia nanus) in Côte d’Ivoire (8) and Magboi virus (MGBV) in the hairy split-faced bat (Nycteris hispida) in Sierra Leone (9) represent a much broader geographic distribution of bat-borne hantaviruses, we analyzed tissues from bats captured in Mongolia and Vietnam.
