Differing antibody prevalence (as a proportion) from cross-sectional studies of two bat species from Ghana, West Africa. Epomophorus gambianus (left, Gambian epauletted fruit bat) roosts in low density, is non-migratory and has a high seroprevalence of anti-Ebolavirus antibodies. Eidolon helvum (right, Straw-colored fruit bat) roosts in high density, is migratory and has a low seroprevalence of anti-Ebolavirus antibodies, but high seroprevalence of antibodies against other RNA viruses. The viruses are: Lagos bat virus (LBV), Hendra virus (HeV), Nipah virus (NiV), and Ebolavirus (Ebola). Results are adapted from [75,76,82].
