Endemic Lagos bat virus infection in Eidolon helvum. [PDF]
Epidemiol Infect, 2012 SUMMARYPhylogenetic analyses suggest lyssaviruses, including Rabies virus, originated from bats. However, the role of bats in the maintenance, transmission and evolution of lyssaviruses is poorly understood. A number of genetically diverse lyssaviruses are present in Africa, including Lagos bat virus (LBV).

Type I interferon reaction to viral infection in interferon-competent, immortalized cell lines from the African fruit bat Eidolon helvum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Bats harbor several highly pathogenic zoonotic viruses including Rabies, Marburg, and henipaviruses, without overt clinical symptoms in the animals. It has been suspected that bats might have evolved particularly effective mechanisms to suppress viral ...

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Populations of Eidolon helvum in Kampala Over 40 Years
Tanzania Journal of Forestry and Nature Conservation, 2012 A decline in population of the straw-colored fruit bat, Eidolon helvum in Kampala has been observed on and off for the last 40 year, but with seasonal variability, noticeable with the numbers of the bats surviving in Kampala at present. The first known count of the bats by Mutere (October,1962) estimated their population at over 200,000 bats while ...

The movement ecology of the straw-colored fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, in sub-Saharan Africa assessed by stable isotope ratios. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Flying foxes (Pteropodidae) are key seed dispersers on the African continent, yet their migratory behavior is largely unknown. Here, we studied the movement ecology of the straw-colored fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, and other fruit bats by analyzing stable ...
