Article Synopsis
- The Sosuga virus (SOSV) is a rare paramyxovirus linked to human illness, first identified in 2012 in an individual from South Sudan and Uganda.
- Ecological studies revealed that the Egyptian rousette bat (ERB) is the only bat species consistently testing positive for SOSV, indicating it serves as a competent host for the virus.
- Recent surveillance in Sierra Leone identified SOSV RNA in ERBs, suggesting that the virus has expanded its range from East Africa to West Africa, potentially affecting ERB populations across sub-Saharan Africa.
