Our findings emphasize the need for interdisciplinary approaches to zoonotic disease surveillance, integrating virology, ecology, and public health. SCCV adds to the growing list of coltiviruses with potential public health implications. #OneHealth #GlobalHealth #Virology

Could bat ectoparasites serve as a vector and/or reservoir of zoonotic viruses?
#OneHealth
With increasing human-wildlife contact in biodiverse regions, understanding viral diversity in ectoparasites like bat bugs is crucial for preventing spillovers.

SCCV is closely related to Tai Forest Reovirus (TFRV), previously found in African bats found in 18.4% of bat bugs collected from cave-dwelling bats.

SCCV was successfully isolated in several mammalian cell lines, showing potential to infect vertebrate hosts.
