Abstract
Novel Bat-borne Hantavirus, Vietnam
Highlights
A novel hantavirus, designated Xuan Son virus (XSV), was detected in 1 of 5 Pomona roundleaf bats (Hipposideros pomona) by using a heminested large (L)–segment primer set and a nested small (S)–segment primer set
S segment showed that XSV differed by 42.8%–58.3% from representative hantaviruses harbored by rodents and most soricomorphs
As we reported previously, the incongruence between some hantaviruses and their reservoir hosts might be indicative of host-switching events (5–7)
Summary
A novel hantavirus, designated Xuan Son virus (XSV), was detected in 1 of 5 Pomona roundleaf bats (Hipposideros pomona) by using a heminested large (L)–segment primer set (outer: HNL-2111F, 5′-CARTCWACWGTIGGIGCIAGTGG-3′, and HANL-R1, 5′-AACCADTCWGTYCCRTCATC-3′; inner: HNL-2111F and HAN-L-R2, 5′-GCRTCRTCWGARTGRTGDGCAA-3′) and a nested small (S)–segment primer set The bat was captured during July 2012 in Xuan Son National To calculate the number of virus copies in tissues by real-time RT-PCR, we used a virusspecific primer set
