Serological evidence and experimental infection of cynomolgus macaques with pteropine orthoreovirus reveal monkeys as potential hosts for transmission to humans
Pteropine orthoreoviruses (PRV) are emerging bat-borne viruses with proven zoonotic transmission.We recently demonstrated human exposure to PRV in Singapore, which together with previous reports from Malaysia and Vietnam suggest that human infection of PRV may occur periodically in the region.This raises the question whether bats are the only sourc
