From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

A Call to Protect Common Species: Bats as a Case Study

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT The ongoing biodiversity crisis highlights the need for targeted conservation efforts, yet the focus often remains on rare and endangered species. This overlooks the vital role of common species, which are the ecological backbone of ecosystems, supporting the stability and functioning of biodiversity.

Ebolavirus evolution and emergence are associated with land use change

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Anthropogenic land use change facilitates disease emergence by altering the interface between humans and pathogen reservoirs and is hypothesized to drive pathogen evolution. Here, we show a positive association between land use change and the evolution and dispersal of Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) and Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV).
