Attenuated infection by a Pteropine orthoreovirus isolated from an Egyptian fruit bat in Zambia.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundPteropine orthoreovirus (PRV) is an emerging bat-borne zoonotic virus that causes severe respiratory illness in humans. Although PRVs have been identified in fruit bats and humans in Australia and Asia, little is known about the prevalence of ...

Toxicokinetic analysis of the anticoagulant rodenticides warfarin & diphacinone in Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) as a comparative sensitivity assessment for Bonin fruit bats (Pteropus pselaphon)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Anticoagulant rodenticides have been widely used to eliminate wild rodents, which as invasive species on remote islands can disturb ecosystems. Since rodenticides can cause wildlife poisoning, it is necessary to evaluate the sensitivity of local mammals ...

Urbanisation Drives Microevolution in the Egyptian Fruit Bat (<i>Rousettus aegyptiacus</i>). [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive global phenomenon that exerts strong influence on biodiversity and ecosystems. Many species can thrive in urban landscapes by capitalising on generalist traits and environmental resilience; however, this does not safeguard against potential biases exerted by urban environments on population processes.

Ethanol and Methanol as Possible Odor Cues for Egyptian Fruit Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) [PDF]

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2006
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Frugivorous bats from the Old and New World use odor cues to locate and assess fruit condition. We hypothesized that Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) use as odor cues those volatile compounds that increase in emission rate as fruit ripens.

Fruit bats adjust their foraging strategies to urban environments to diversify their diet

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Urbanization is one of the most influential processes on our globe, putting a great number of species under threat. Some species learn to cope with urbanization, and a few even benefit from it, but we are only starting to understand how they ...

Air pollution likely reduces hemoglobin levels in urban fruit bats

iScience
Summary: Air pollution is one of the world’s most substantial environmental problems. Air pollution is more severe in urban environments. Besides humans, other animals also inhabit cities.

Conservation and Zoonotic Risk Implications of Egyptian Fruit Bats Amid Marburg Virus Disease Outbreaks in Tanzania and the Broader Sub-Saharan African Region

Zoonotic Diseases
The Marburg virus (MARV) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes a high case fatality rate of up to 100% in humans. In response to Marburg virus disease (MVD) outbreaks in the Kagera region, an ecological investigation was initiated to map the population and ...

Complex competition interactions between Egyptian fruit bats and black rats in the real world [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Interspecific interactions, including competition and predation, are key drivers of ecological systems. Understanding these interactions remains challenging in the wild as it requires quantifying their effects, particularly the non-consumptive
