On the Fly: Tritrophic Associations of Bats, Bat Flies, and Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2020 Parasitism is one of the most diverse and abundant modes of life, and of great ecological and evolutionary importance. Notwithstanding, large groups of parasites remain relatively understudied.

Molecular Prevalence of Bartonella spp. in Bat Flies in East Coast Malaysia
HeliyonBats are a significant reservoir for numerous pathogens, including Bartonella spp. It is one of the emerging zoonotic bacterial diseases that can be transmitted to humans and may cause various unspecific clinical manifestations.

A comprehensive genetic and phylogenetic study of Trypanosoma spp. in bats and sand flies from shared habitats in Thailand [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Bats are known reservoirs for various pathogens, many of which can infect other animals through blood-feeding arthropods. Over 100 bat species have been identified as hosts for kinetoplastid protozoans, including ≥ 30 distinct Trypanosoma spp.

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceIntroduction Bats are known to harbour Bartonella bacteria, which can be found in several species of bats. Various ectoparasites can infest bats and harbour the bacteria, serving as important vectors for diverse Bartonella species.

Host associations and genetic diversity of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) in bats from Thailand [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Bat flies belong to the order Diptera and superfamily Hippoboscoidea. They can be divided into two families, Streblidae and Nycteribiidae, which collectively encompass 239 and 280 species worldwide, respectively.

Bat selfies: photographic surveys of flying bats
Mammalian Biology, 2022 AbstractThe recent pandemic and other environmental concerns have resulted in restrictions on research and surveys involving capture and handling bats. While acoustic surveys have been widely used as an alternative survey method, in this study, we show how photographic surveys can offer an important contribution to study and survey bats.

Exploring the relationship between bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) and ectoparasitic flies (Diptera, Hippoboscoidea) of the Orinoquia Region in South America [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Bat flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) have been used to study co-evolutionary patterns between ectoparasites and bats. In the world, Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are represented by approximately 276 and 237 species, respectively.

Multimodal localization of a flying bat [PDF]
2001 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. Proceedings (Cat. No.01CH37221), 2002 We present a new multimodal system that combines stereoscopic and audio-based source localization to track the position of a flying bat. Also presented are novel algorithms for audio source localization. The bat was allowed to fly in an anechoic room and monitored by two high-speed video cameras.
