Isolation and genome characterization of Lloviu virus from Italian Schreibers’ bent-winged bats

Abstract excerpt

Lloviu cuevavirus (LLOV) was the first identified member of Filoviridae family outside the Ebola and Marburgvirus genera. A massive die-off of Schreibers’ bent-winged bats ( Miniopterus schreibersii ) in the Iberian Peninsula in 2002 led to its discovery. Studies with recombinant and wild-type LLOV isolates confirmed the susceptibility of human-derived cell lines and primary human macrophages to LLOV infectio...
