Investigation of a Potential Zoonotic Transmission of Orthoreovirus Associated with Acute Influenza-Like Illness in an Adult Patient

Abstract: Bats are increasingly being recognized as important reservoir hosts for a large number of viruses, some of them can be highly virulent when they infect human and livestock animals. Among the new bat zoonotic viruses discovered in recent years, several reoviruses (respiratory enteric orphan viruses) were found to be able to cause acute respiratory infections in humans, which included Melaka and Kampar viruses discovered in Malaysia, all of them belong to the genus Orthoreovirus, family Reoviridae.

“…The bat samples includes heart blood, urine, lung specimens, intestinal specimens, and salivary swabs. In the seven isolates recovered from human samples, three cases were known to have been exposed to fruit bats, while the other four cases made no specific mention of exposure to bats, though there was history of visits to places with the potential presence of fruit bats [4][5][6][7][8][9]. With this backdrop, it appears highly likely that fruit bats (Pteropus spp.…”
