Range expansion of bombali virus in mops condylurus Bats, Kenya, 2019

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 26, No. 12, Year 2020

Previously identified only in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and southeastern Kenya, Bombali virus–infected Mops condylurus bats were recently found ≈750 km away in western Kenya. This finding supports the role of M. condylurus bats as hosts and the potential for Bombali virus circulation across the bats’ range in sub-Saharan Africa.
