Abstract

This study explores the exposure of sylvatic bats to dengue virus (DENV) by detecting neutralizing antibodies against the virus in the Argentinean Yungas. Blood samples from 143 bats were tested using PRNT, revealing DENV-1 antibodies in three individuals (Sturnira lilium, S. erythromos, Artibeus planirostris) from sylvatic habitats of Jujuy. Presence of DENV-1 antibodies in sylvatic bats suggests potential exposure to the virus in wild areas, indicating the potential endemicity of DENV in subtropical areas of Argentina. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism through which DENV has potentially established in wild areas of Argentina and the role of bats as host for DENV.

阿根廷Yungas雨林蝙蝠的登革热病毒中和抗体。

本研究通过检测阿根廷Yungas中针对登革热病毒的中和抗体，探讨了森林蝙蝠暴露于登革热病毒（DENV）的情况。利用PRNT对143只蝙蝠的血液样本进行了检测，发现来自Jujuy森林栖息地的3只蝙蝠（Sturnira lilium， S. erythromos, Artibeus planirostris）中存在DENV-1抗体。在森林蝙蝠中发现DENV-1抗体表明可能在野生地区接触过该病毒，表明DENV可能在阿根廷亚热带地区流行。需要进一步研究以了解登革热病毒在阿根廷野生地区可能形成的机制以及蝙蝠作为登革热病毒宿主的作用。

期刊介绍： EcoHealth aims to advance research, practice, and knowledge integration at the interface of ecology and health by publishing high quality research and review articles that address and profile new ideas, developments, and programs. The journal’s scope encompasses research that integrates concepts and theory from many fields of scholarship (including ecological, social and health sciences, and the humanities) and draws upon multiple types of knowledge, including those of relevance to practice and policy. Papers address integrated ecology and health challenges arising in public health, human and veterinary medicine, conservation and ecosystem management, rural and urban development and planning, and other fields that address the social-ecological context of health. The journal is a central platform for fulfilling the mission of the EcoHealth Alliance to strive for sustainable health of people, domestic animals, wildlife, and ecosystems by promoting discovery, understanding, and transdisciplinarity. The journal invites substantial contributions in the following areas: One Health and Conservation Medicine o Integrated research on health of humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems o Research and policy in ecology, public health, and agricultural sustainability o Emerging infectious diseases affecting people, wildlife, domestic animals, and plants o Research and practice linking human and animal health and/or social-ecological systems o Anthropogenic environmental change and drivers of disease emergence in humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems o Health of humans and animals in relation to terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems Ecosystem Approaches to Health o Systems thinking and social-ecological systems in relation to health o Transdiiplinary approaches to health, ecosystems and society.
