Researcher recently identified a type of new class of Herpes virus in bat cells which will no doubt better support in deeply understanding of Herpes virus chemistry and how bat host these viruses.
The scientist from Maryland and New York detect this virus in bat blood cells and this novel work recently published in mSphere a Microbiology journal of American Society of Microbiology.
Researchers prepares about 130,000 base pairs of genetic material of virus which they detect in blood cells of bat virus named Gammaherpesvirus 8 (BGHV8) the same features like Epstein bar virus and able to cause mononucleosis and cancers too.In experiment scientists found the virus able to infect cell lines and animals.
"The cool thing about this study is that it was so surprising," said senior study author Christopher Basler, PhD, a professor of microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. "We didn't go looking for a virus and really, by accident, we found this new virus, and it turned out to be the first replicating bat Gammaherpesvirus. We think it's exciting for people interested in studying how bats interact with viruses."
