11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
11.1 Identifying antibodies against Nipah, SARS –CoV, Bana, Japanese encephalitis and Chikungunya viruses in Bats species, Viet Nam, 2006-2009.
- A total 549 bat sera were tested for Nipah virus (NiV), SARS – coronavirus (SARS – CoV), Bana virus, Japanese encephalitis (JEV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIK) infection using ELISA method. Specimens were found Ab positive for NiV (6,2%), SARS – CoV (2,0%), Bana (5,5%), JEV (1,6%) and CHIK (2,0%). IgG-ELISA indicator is only valid for screening and orienting virus infection but cannot be used in the diagnosis to determine the cause of zoonotic studies (Bat species).
- Two bat’s (Roussetus lesschenaulti) sera of 549 sera total were introduced neutralizing antibody against NiV virus (0,36%) by NT50 test.
- Only one sera from Roussetus lesschenaulti bat have introduced neutralization antibody against SARS – CoV viruses (0,18%).
- There are no sera confirmed as Bana, JEV –or CHIK infections by serology testing..
