Background  The genus  Ebolavirus  of the family Filoviridae currently consists of five species. All species, with the exception of  Reston ebolavirus , have been found in Africa and caused severe human diseases. Bats have been implicated as reservoirs for ebolavirus.  Reston ebolavirus , discovered in the Philippines, is the only ebolavirus species identified in Asia to date. Whether this virus is prevalent in China is unknown.    Findings  In this study, we developed an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for ebolavirus using the recombinant nucleocapsid protein and performed sero-surveillance for the virus among Chinese bat populations. Our results revealed the presence of antibodies to ebolavirus in 32 of 843 bat sera samples and 10 of 16 were further confirmed by western blot analysis.    Conclusion  To our knowledge, this is the first report of any filovirus infection in China.
