General description
The objective of this project is to provide and test samples of Schreiber's bats from multiple countries in Southern-Eastern Europe. We plan to continue and maintain a Lloviu virus surveillance programme in relation to these animals, which will provide samples for Lloviu virus RNA sequence diversity studies and also for in vivo ADAR/APOBEC gene activity studies. The animal-derived data will inform the in vitro study design.
