Figure 1

Marburg virus seropositivity in Egyptian rousette bats in Matlapitsi Cave, Limpopo Province, South Africa, 2013–2014. Numbers in parentheses indicate number of bats sampled per month. Bats <1 year of age (young bats) represent the new generation of bats born mostly during the October–January birthing peak. Statistically significant differences in seropositivity between adult and young bats are noted over a period of 4 months, April–July 2013. *Significant difference (p = 0.0001) between adult
