Bat Hunting, Illness, and Health‐Seeking Behavior Among a Bat‐Hunter Community in Bangladesh: Biomedical Versus Local Views

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores socioeconomic and health‐related aspects of a bat‐hunter community in Bangladesh, focusing on their unique cultural practices and the associated risks of bat‐borne infections. The hunter community predominantly engages in day labor and seasonal bat hunting as supplementary income.

Novel Lyssavirus in Natterer’s Bat, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
A virus isolated from a Natterer’s bat (Myotis nattererii) in Germany was differentiated from other lyssaviruses on the basis of the reaction pattern of a panel of monoclonal antibodies.

A Fully Human Derived Monoclonal Antibody Provides Potent Pre‐ and Postexposure Protection Against Rabies Virus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Rabies remains a critical global health concern, particularly in endemic regions where timely access to postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is often limited. The effectiveness of PEP relies heavily on rabies immune globulin (RIG), yet plasma‐derived products continue to face persistent issues of limited supply, variable potency, and high cost.

A Novel In‐Cell ELISA With Superior Sensitivity and Specificity for the Detection of African Swine Fever Virus‐Specific IgM and IgG Antibodies

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF), a high‐profile transboundary animal disease caused by ASF virus (ASFV), imposes a devastating impact on the global swine industry. Given that vaccines are still under development, including field evaluations, early detection of ASFV is crucial for effective disease control and mitigation.

Lyssavirus in Japanese Pipistrelle, Taiwan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
A putative new lyssavirus was found in 2 Japanese pipistrelles (Pipistrellus abramus) in Taiwan in 2016 and 2017. The concatenated coding regions of the virus showed 62.9%–75.1% nucleotide identities to the other 16 species of lyssavirus, suggesting that

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

A Conservation Assessment and Systematic Review of the Endangered Spectacled Flying‐Fox 濒危眼镜狐蝠的保护评估与系统综述

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.
Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Australian Bat Lyssavirus Infection in a Captive Juvenile Black Flying Fox

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
The newly emerging Australian bat lyssavirus causes rabieslike disease in bats and humans. A captive juvenile black flying fox exhibited progressive neurologic signs, including sudden aggression, vocalization, dysphagia, and paresis over 9 days and then ...

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 110-120, December 2025.
A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Enhanced passive bat rabies surveillance in indigenous bat species from Germany--a retrospective study.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
In Germany, rabies in bats is a notifiable zoonotic disease, which is caused by European bat lyssaviruses type 1 and 2 (EBLV-1 and 2), and the recently discovered new lyssavirus species Bokeloh bat lyssavirus (BBLV). As the understanding of bat rabies in
