This study detected Bombali ebolavirus RNA in free-tailed bats in Mozambique and found that Mops condylurus bats may play a significant role in the transmission of this virus.
We detected Bombali ebolavirus RNA in 3 free-tailed bats (Mops condylurus, Molossidae) in Mozambique. Sequencing of the large protein gene revealed 98% identity with viruses previously detected in Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Guinea. Our findings further support the suspected role of Mops condylurus bats in maintaining Bombali ebolavirus.
