摘要：In response to a recent finding of antibodies reactive with equine morbillivirus in four species offlying foxes, people who had close association with flying foxes were tested for antibodies to thevirus. One hundred and twenty-eight bat carers were tested, none of whom had detectableantibodies. As people who had regular contact with flying foxes were targeted in this study, themajority of the subjects had considerable histories of contact with flying foxes, including scratchesand bites. These findings suggest that neither prolonged close contact nor casual contact withflying foxes engenders a risk of equine morbillivirus infection in humans
