3 Marburg viruses: The Roadmap Discovery of the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegypiacus) as a natural reservoir Longitudinal studies of virus persistence in R. aegypiacus Experimental studies Modeling Ebola viruses: Where are we now? Lessons learned: What can we apply to the Ebola virus reservoir search?
4 Where do Ebola- and Marburgviruses reside in nature? How are these viruses transmitted from nature to humans? The approach so far has often been to initiate ecological investigations soon after the resolution of the human component of the outbreak based upon the whereabouts and activities of the index case Unfortunately, the index case is often deceased and/or unknown Almost all of the recent Ebola outbreaks in Gabon and Republic of Congo have been traced to direct contact with infected bush meat, namely non-human primates How are non-human primates becoming infected?
5 Expectations for a virus reservoir host: Find consistent evidence of infection in population (virus, antibodies) Sufficient viral loads and shedding to maintain virus circulation in population Remain clinically healthy (population level) Host species natural history is supportive of virus persistence in the population

27 Modeling Filovirus persistence in bats Used field based and experimental studies to develop and parameterize an SEIR model to explore: Critical community size (minimum population size) Incubation time Birth pulse : annual or biannual More synchronous the birth pulses require longer incubation periods (Peel et al., 2013)
28 Modeling Marburgvirus persistence in Rousettus aegyptiacus Results were that infection persisted for 25 years in 500 simulations provided: Critical community size is > 20,000 bats (near 100% when over 40,000 bats) Incubation time 21 days, but not 7 days Birth pulse : biannual

38 Spillover can be lethal even in bats Only dead bats positive for Lloviu virus positive
39 Lessons learned: What could we apply to the Ebola reservoir search? For Ebola virus, there is no epidemiologic linkage to a restricted biome (e.g. cave/mine) For Marburg virus, the number of actively infected (PCR+) individuals is low (2-5%), suggesting the need to test 100s of animals of any single species Africa is home to >250 bat species (~25% of global bat diversity): You can do the math Reservoir animals can have mild disease but otherwise remain clinically healthy There may be seasons of increased levels of active infection in juveniles linkage to birth pulses (most African fruit bats in tropics have biannual birth pulses
