Zusammenfassung:In addition to the 12 cases above detected via passive surveillance (dead bats), EBLV-2 RNA was detected in the saliva of a healthy Daubenton's bat in Scotland as part of an active surveillance programme ( McElhinney and others 2013 ). [...]EBLV-2 has persisted in the UK Daubenton's bat population for at least two decades and presents a low but real risk of a fatal zoonotic disease to people.
