The origin of the outbreak has not been identified. It was revealed that the patient didn\u2019t travel anywhere before the illness. Prior to outbreak, MARV had been found in bats in the neighboring Sierra Leone, but never in Guinea. Therefore, the origin of infection is unclear: was it an autochthonous case with spillover from a local population of bats or an imported case with spillover from fruit bats foraging\/migrating from Sierra Leone? In this paper, we studied\n                    <jats:italic>Rousettus aegyptiacus<\/jats:italic>\n                    in Guinea as the possible source of MARV infection caused the patient death in 2021 in Guinea. We caught bats in 32 sites of Gu\u00e9ck\u00e9dou prefecture, including seven caves and 25 locations of the flight path. A total of 501 fruit bats (Pteropodidae) were captured, including 66\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>aegyptiacus<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
