Bats are hosts of a range of viruses, including ebolaviruses, and many important human viral infections, such as measles and mumps, may have their ancestry traced back to bats. Here, I review viruses of all viral families detected in global bat populations. The viral diversity in bats is substantial, and viruses with all known types of genomic structures and replication strategies have been discovered in bats. However, the discovery of viruses is not geographically even, with some apparently undersampled regions, such as South America. Furthermore, some bat families, including those with global or wide distributions such as Emballonuridae and Miniopteridae, are underrepresented on viral databases. Future studies, including those that address these sampling gaps along with those that develop our understanding of viral-host relationships, are highlighted.

蝙蝠作为病毒库
蝙蝠是包括埃博拉病毒在内的多种病毒的宿主,许多重要的人类病毒感染(例如麻疹和腮腺炎)的起源可追溯到蝙蝠。在这里,我回顾了在全球蝙蝠种群中检测到的所有病毒家族的病毒。蝙蝠的病毒多样性非常重要,并且在蝙蝠中发现了具有所有已知类型的基因组结构和复制策略的病毒。但是,在某些地区,例如南美洲,采样率明显偏低,病毒的发现在地理上也不是均匀的。此外,一些蝙蝠科,包括分布在全球或广泛的蝙蝠科,例如Emballonuridae和Miniopteridae,在病毒数据库中的代表性不足。着重指出了未来的研究,包括那些解决这些抽样空白的研究以及那些使我们对病毒-宿主关系有了更深入了解的研究。
