Infections of bats with the ebolaviruses and marburgviruses do not appear to be associated with disease. Here we report identification in dead insectivorous bats of a genetically distinct filovirus, provisionally named Lloviu virus, after the site of detection, Cueva del Lloviu, in Spain.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AnimalsBase SequenceChiropteraDNA, ViralDisease OutbreaksEbolavirusGenomeHemorrhagic Fever, EbolaLungMolecular Sequence DataPhylogenySpainSpleenDisease ReservoirsDiscovery of an ebolavirus-like filovirus in EuropeAtribución 4.0 Internacional22039362710e100230410.1371/journal.ppat.10023041553-7374PLoS pathogensopen access
