molecular evidence of ebola reston virus infection in philippine bats.	in 2008-09, evidence of reston ebolavirus (restv) infection was found in domestic pigs and pig workers in the philippines. with species of bats having been shown to be the cryptic reservoir of filoviruses elsewhere, the philippine government, in conjunction with the food and agriculture organization of the united nations, assembled a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional team to investigate philippine bats as the possible reservoir of restv.	2015	26184657
assessment of the function and intergenus-compatibility of ebola and lloviu virus proteins.	sequences for lloviu virus (llov), a putative novel filovirus, were first identified in miniopterus schreibersii bats in spain following a massive bat die-off in 2002, and also recently found in bats in hungary. however, until now it is unclear if these sequences correspond to a fully functional, infectious virus, and whether it will show a pathogenic phenotype like african filoviruses, such as ebola- and marburgviruses, or be apathogenic for humans, like the asian filovirus reston virus. since ...	2019	31017565
