Abstract

We isolated Issyk-Kul virus (ISKV) from a bat sampled from Italy in 2021 and conducted ISKV-specific surveillance in bats collected in Italy during 2017–2023. ISKV circulation among synanthropic and sedentary species of bat, such as Savi’s pipistrelle bat (Hypsugo savii) in northern Italy, may have public health implications in this region.
