divergent lineage of a novel hantavirus in the banana pipistrelle (neoromicia nanus) in côte d'ivoire.	recently identified hantaviruses harbored by shrews and moles (order soricomorpha) suggest that other mammals having shared ancestry may serve as reservoirs. to investigate this possibility, archival tissues from 213 insectivorous bats (order chiroptera) were analyzed for hantavirus rna by rt-pcr. following numerous failed attempts, hantavirus rna was detected in ethanol-fixed liver tissue from two banana pipistrelles (neoromicia nanus), captured near mouyassué village in côte d'ivoire, west afr ...	2012	22281072
hantavirus strains in east africa related to western african hantaviruses.	hantaviruses are rna viruses primarily carried by rodents, soricomorphs, and bats. the data about the distribution and genetic diversity of these viruses are often limited, especially in most regions of sub-saharan africa. moreover, the majority of representatives were identified in western african localities, while only three hantaviruses have been reported in east africa to date. in this study, a total of 1866 small mammals captured between 2009 and 2014 in various countries of eastern africa ...	2017	28075239
