Divergent host adaptation in Marburg virus: a hypothesis-generating framework for prioritizing non-traditional reservoirs

2026-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Although Rousettus aegyptiacus is the primary natural reservoir of Marburg virus (MARV), recent atypical outbreaks and viral genomic diversification suggest a highly complex host-pathogen ecology. Here, we systematically evaluated the molecular homologies between MARV and diverse mammalian taxa to identify putative reservoir hosts and guide targeted surveillance. Methods A multi-dimensional mol...
