一 | KINSHASA, Congo -- A boat capsized in Congo’s northwest killing at least 27 people, and more than 70 others were missing, a senior government official said Saturday as rescuers searched frantically for survivors.The locally made boat capsized late Friday in the city of Mbandaka in Equateur Province as it transported more than 100 passengers along the Congo River to the town of Bolomba, according to Taylor Nganzi, deputy provincial governor.“Already 27 bodies of victims have been removed from the waters (and) transported to the morgue of the general hospital in Mbandaka,” said Nganzi, adding that an investigation to find out the cause of the accident had begun.The New Civil Society of Congo, a local civil society group, said 49 people died in the accident, which it said occurred after an engine failure. “Everything started to sink,” Jean-Pierre Wangela, president of the group, told reporters.The contradictory death tolls, which is common in such incidents in Congo, could not immediately be reconciled.Volunteers joined rescuers in the search for survivors and for bodies, while families mourned loved ones who were among the victims.“We are supervising the search for bodies with the river services and accompanied by the victims’ families,” said Nganzi.Boat accidents are common on the Congo River and on the nation’s lakes because of the prevalent use of makeshift boats that are often overloaded. The majority of the population in the country's northwest use the rivers to travel because of a lack of good roads and because it is a less expensive.The Congolese government had banned night travel throughout the country to avoid accidents, although many defy the directive.。全球蝙蝠传播的病毒对人类和动物健康构成威胁。

二 | 丝状病毒，尤其是埃博拉病毒和马尔堡病毒，因其致病性而臭名昭著。它们能通过影响许多器官和破坏血管，在人类中引起严重的，通常是致命的发烧。这是在印度塔米尔纳杜马德拉伊的一座寺庙里看到的罗塞图斯·莱切诺提伊。

四 | ”研究蝙蝠传播丝虫病的遗传多样性和地理分布对风险评估和疾病暴发的预防非常重要，因为它们可以在没有预警的情况下影响公众，并产生毁灭性的后果，”医学院新传染病研究项目主任王林发教授说。杜克新加坡国立大学，本研究的主要作者。研究人员在分析果蝠丝状病毒的多样性时发现了这种新病毒。他们把它命名为孟拉病毒，因为它是在中国云南省孟拉县发现的。他们从蝙蝠样本中检测出病毒，并研究了其序列和功能特征。结果表明，蒙拉病毒属于丝状病毒。孟加拉病毒在遗传学上是独一无二的。

五 | 它与其他已知的丝状病毒共享32-54%的基因序列。

六 | 与其他丝状病毒相比，它在不同的地理位置被发现。这个新的属，可能包括多个物种，位于进化树中埃博拉病毒和马尔堡病毒之间。研究人员检测了来自不同动物细胞的孟加拉病毒，发现与其他丝状病毒一样，孟加拉病毒具有种间传播的潜在风险。结果表明，孟加拉病毒在进化过程中与埃博拉病毒和马尔堡病毒有着密切的联系，并具有重要的功能相似性。例如，孟加拉病毒的基因组与其他丝状病毒相同，编码7个基因。孟加拉病毒也使用与埃博拉病毒和马尔堡病毒（一种叫做NPC1的蛋白质）相同的分子受体进入细胞并引起感染。
