Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Henipaviruses at the Interface Between Bats, Livestock and Human Population in Africa: A Review
, 2019 Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are closely related members within the genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae, for which fruit bats serve as the reservoir.

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

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) viruses are high‐priority, biosafety level‐4 pathogens that cause fatal neurological and respiratory disease. Their P gene encodes not only the P protein, an essential polymerase cofactor, but also the virulence factors V and W.

Henipaviruses: bat-borne paramyxoviruses
Microbiology Australia, 2017 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Found on every continent except Antarctica, bats are one of the most abundant, diverse and geographically widespread vertebrates globally, making up approximately 20% of all known extant mammal species1,2.

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Hendra virus (HeV) is a biosafety level 4 human pathogen belonging to the Henipavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. In HeV, the phosphoprotein‐encoding gene also drives the synthesis of the V and W proteins that are two major players in the host innate immune response evasion.

Ebolavirus evolution and emergence are associated with land use change
Ecological 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).
