Human activities link fruit bat presence to Ebola virus disease outbreaks
Mammal Review, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-10, January 2020., 2020 Forest loss and fragmentation and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in humans are linked. Deforestation may alter the natural circulation of viruses and change the composition, abundance, behaviour and possibly viral exposure of reservoir species. This in turn might increase contact between infected animals and humans.

Thermoregulation by captive and free-ranging Egyptian rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) in South Africa [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2017 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Many bats, including some small-bodied tropical and subtropical Pteropodidae, use torpor to offset energetic constraints. We tested the hypothesis that medium-sized (110–160 g) cave-roosting Egyptian rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) at the southern extent of their range are able to employ torpor ...

Antibody Responses to Marburg Virus in Egyptian Rousette Bats and Their Role in Protection against Infection [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs) are reservoir hosts for the Marburg virus (MARV). The immune dynamics and responses to MARV infection in ERBs are poorly understood, and limited information exists on the role of antibodies in protection of ERBs against MARV infection.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The human-pathogenic Kasokero virus (KASV; genus Orthonairovirus) has been isolated from the sera of Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs; Rousettus aegyptiacus) captured in Uganda and unengorged Ornithodoros (Reticulinasus) faini ticks collected from the rock ...

Development of a reverse genetics system for Sosuga virus allows rapid screening of antiviral compounds. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Sosuga virus (SOSV) is a recently discovered zoonotic paramyxovirus isolated from a single human case in 2012; it has been ecologically and epidemiologically associated with transmission by the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Paramyxo- and Coronaviruses in Rwandan Bats
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019 A high diversity of corona- and paramyxoviruses have been detected in different bat species at study sites worldwide, including Africa, however no biosurveillance studies from Rwanda have been reported.

Molecular Biology International, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 TLR9 plays pivotal role in innate immune responses through upregulation of costimulatory molecules and induction of proinflammatory cytokines like type I interferons including interferon alpha (IFNA). The present study characterized IFNA cDNA and predicted protein sequences in goat and black buck. Response of the PBM cells to TLR9 agonist CpG ODN C and
