摘要： A vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, captured in Oaxaca, Mexico, in August 1970, was found to be infected with the epidemic strain of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus at the same time that an equine epizootic was occurring there.

摘要： An ultrastructural study has been undertaken of the morphology and development of Entebbe bat salivary gland virus in new born mouse brain. Particles, 35 mμ in diameter, were present in neurons of infected mice. A possible developmental sequence involving neurotubules and endoplasmic reticulum is proposed.

摘要： A hitherto undescribed virus was isolated from salivary glands of a fruitbat of the speciesRhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens (K. Andersen). Some of its properties are discussed. Of the viruses, isolated from organs of bats only and not from other sources, this virus is the first of which multiplication in mosquitoes —Aedes aegypti — was *** to infant mice or to a blood reservoir through a batwing membrane was not achieved. The implications of the finding are discussed. The name Mount Elgon Bat virus (MEB) is proposed for the isolate.

摘要： The dog-faced fruit bat, Cynopterus brachyotis, must be considered as a potential reservoir of sylvatic rabies in Thailand. The significance of bats as carriers of sylvatic rabies is enhanced by the report of transmission of rabies isolates from bats to a variety of animals by the intramuscular route and by the fact that rabies virus can survive for long periods of time in the brown fat tissue of bats.

摘要： A strain of St. Louis encephalitis virus has been isolated from Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida b. mexicana) collected at the time of an outbreak of encephalitis in Texas in 1964.

摘要： The cave bat is susceptible by intracerebral inoculation to dengue fever virus (Hawaii mouse-adapted strain). This strain was carried for 6 passages in the bat by intracerebral inoculation and was confirmed to be dengue fever virus by a neutralization test done by intracerebral inoculation in Swiss albino mice. Mice injd. intracerebrally from each bat passage showed nervous symptoms such as found in mice injd. with the original mouse passage material used to initiate the expt.
