In 2011, we isolated ENTV from a little free-tailed bat captured from the attic of a house near where it had originally been found. Infectious virus was recovered from the spleen and lung, and the viral RNA was sequenced and compared with that of the original isolate. Across the polypeptide sequence, there were 76 amino acid substitutions, resulting in 97.8% identity at the amino acid level between the 1957 and 2011 isolates. Further study of this virus would provide valuable insights into the ecological and genetic factors governing the evolution and transmission of bat- and mosquito-borne flaviviruses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,23]],"date-time":"2015-06-23T02:00:42Z","timestamp":1435024842000},"page":"475-477","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Detection of Entebbe Bat Virus After 54 Years"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Rebekah C.","family":"Kading","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Kityo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teddie","family":"Nakayiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Ledermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary B.","family":"Crabtree","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julius","family":"Lutwama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barry R.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Diagnostic Procedures for Virus and Rickettsial Diseases","article-title":"Rabies","author":"Johnson","year":"1956"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Proceedings of the 9th Pacific Science Congress","first-page":"39","article-title":"The Rio Bravo virus: virus identified with group B arthropod-borne viruses by haemagglutination inhibition and complement fixation tests","volume":"Vol. 17","author":"Johnson","year":"1962"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Science","first-page":"227","article-title":"Virus of bats antigenically related to St. Louis encephalitis","volume":"123","author":"Burns","year":"1956"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"389","article-title":"A virus from insectivorous bats in Uganda","volume":"55","author":"Lumsden","year":"1961"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"East African Virus Research Institute Report, July 1956\u2013June 1957","first-page":"22","article-title":"From bat salivary glands","author":"Lumsden","year":"1957"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"East African Virus Research Institute Report, July 1963\u2013December 1964","first-page":"42","article-title":"Virus isolations from bats","author":"Williams","year":"1964"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"1119","article-title":"No. 224 Mount Elgon bat strain BP846","volume":"19","author":"Metselaar","year":"1970"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"405","article-title":"Ledantevirus: a proposed new genus in the Rhabdoviridae has a strong ecological association with bats","volume":"92","author":"Blasdell","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"387","article-title":"Kasokero virus: a new human pathogen from bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) in Uganda","volume":"35","author":"Kalunda","year":"1986"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"432","article-title":"Studies on arboviruses and bats (Chiroptera) in east Africa II.
