Host-species transferrin receptor 1 orthologs are cellular receptors for nonpathogenic new world clade B arenaviruses.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
The ability of a New World (NW) clade B arenavirus to enter cells using human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) strictly correlates with its ability to cause hemorrhagic fever.

Phyllostomid bat microbiome composition is associated to host phylogeny and feeding strategies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The members of the Phyllostomidae, the New-World leaf-nosed family of bats, show a remarkable evolutionary diversification of dietary strategies including insectivory, as the ancestral trait, followed by appearance of carnivory and plant-based diets such

Composición de comunidades y filoespecificidad de ectoparásitos de murciélagos en paisajes agropecuarios de Veracruz, México.

Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2019
Se evaluó la influencia de la transformación antropogénica del paisaje por actividades pecuarias sobre la composición y especificidad de las comunidades de ectoparásitos asociadas a murciélagos, en ranchos ganaderos del estado de Veracruz. Se compararon

Nemátodos en la cavidad abdominal y el tracto digestivo de algunos murciélagos colombianos

Caldasia, 1999
Bats were collected in 11 sampling areas from the Departments of Antioquia, Bolívar and Chocó (Colombia), between February 1992 and June 1993. A total of 119 bats of five families and 33 species were captured, of which 70 bats of 23 species were ...

Deciphering bat influenza H18N11 infection dynamics in male Jamaican fruit bats on a single-cell level

Nature Communications
Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) naturally harbor a wide range of viruses of human relevance. These infections are typically mild in bats, suggesting unique features of their immune system.

Integrative single-cell characterization of a frugivorous and an insectivorous bat kidney and pancreas

Nature Communications
Frugivory evolved multiple times in mammals, including bats. However, the cellular and molecular components driving it remain largely unknown. Here, we use integrative single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq) on insectivorous (Eptesicus fuscus ...

Bats generate lower affinity but higher diversity antibody responses than those of mice, but pathogen-binding capacity increases if protein is restricted in their diet.

PLoS Biology
Bats are reservoirs of many zoonotic viruses that are fatal in humans but do not cause disease in bats. Moreover, bats generate low neutralizing antibody titers in response to experimental viral infection, although more robust antibody responses have ...

Jamaican fruit bats’ competence for Ebola but not Marburg virus is driven by intrinsic differences

Nature Communications
Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) are zoonotic filoviruses that cause hemorrhagic fever in humans. Correlative data implicate bats as natural EBOV hosts, but neither a full-length genome nor an EBOV isolate has been found in any bats sampled ...
