[Isolation of the Fomédé virus from Chiroptera, Nycteris nana, in the Republic of Guinea].
In October 1978, a new virus named Fomédé was recovered from the bat, Nycteris nana, during the studies of arbovirus infections in Guinea (West Africa). When the virus was tested, it did not fit any prototype patterns. These findings have led to a presumption that the ch. s. 654 strain of virus is a previously unknown virus due to its biological, physico-chemical and antigenic patterns.
