Isolation of Japanese Encephalitis Virus from Brain Tissues of Bat in Yunnan Province

  • Available online: 05 February 2001
  • In July 1997, a strain (GB30) of virus was isolated from 60 samples of brain tissues of Murina aurata (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) collected in Gengma county, Yunnan province, China. Isolation of virus was negative from 4 samples of brain tissues of Rousettus leschenaulti (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) collected in Gengma. GB30 virus strain could regularly cause illness and death in suckling mice, produced evident CPE in BHK21 cells. It agglutinated red blood cells of dove at pH5.75~7.4. This virus has been identified serologically by hemagglutination inhibition and immunofluorescent tests using Japanese encephalitis (JE), dengue (DEN) type 1,2,3,4, and chikungunya (CHIK) viruses monoclonal antibodies, and JE and sindbis (SIN) viruses immune sera. It showed specific reaction to JE virus only and no reaction with DEN 1~4, CHIK and SIN viruses. Therefore it can be identified as JE virus.

    Abstract: In July 1997, a strain (GB30) of virus was isolated from 60 samples of brain tissues of Murina aurata (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) collected in Gengma county, Yunnan province, China. Isolation of virus was negative from 4 samples of brain tissues of Rousettus leschenaulti (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) collected in Gengma. GB30 virus strain could regularly cause illness and death in suckling mice, produced evident CPE in BHK21 cells. It agglutinated red blood cells of dove at pH5.75~7.4. This virus has been identified serologically by hemagglutination inhibition and immunofluorescent tests using Japanese encephalitis (JE), dengue (DEN) type 1,2,3,4, and chikungunya (CHIK) viruses monoclonal antibodies, and JE and sindbis (SIN) viruses immune sera. It showed specific reaction to JE virus only and no reaction with DEN 1~4, CHIK and SIN viruses. Therefore it can be identified as JE virus. This is the first report on the isolation of JE virus from Murina aurata . The results showed that bats are consider
