Entebbe bat virus is an infectious disease caused by a Flavivirus that is closely related to yellow fever.
Little is known about the symptoms caused by the Entebbe bat virus, and it is unknown if the virus can infect humans. Entebbe bat virus was initially a mosquito-borne pathogen that was able to infect bats and use them as reservoirs for the virus. However, the virus does not seem to have any existing adverse side effects on its host.
Entebbe bat virus was first isolated from a little free-tailed bat (Chaerephon pumilus) in Uganda in 1957, but was not detectable after initial isolation. In 2011, Entebbe bat virus was isolated from a free-tailed bat captured from the attic of a house where it had been originally found. Infectious virus was recovered from the spleen and lung. The viral RNA was sequenced and compared with that of the original isolate (Kading et al. 2015).
Entebbe bat virus is a (+) single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) genome virus. It is an enveloped virus with icosahedral nucleocapsid. Its genome has approximately 10,000 to 12,000 kilobases.
