Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
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.

Geographic Translocation of Bats: Known and Potential Problems
Natural, accidental, and intentional translocation of bats, both intra- and intercontinentally, has been documented. Some bats have been translocated while incubating infectious diseases, including rabies or related lyssavirus infections; others have ...

The Wildity Scale as a management tool for reintroduced specimens
Mexican wolves and other species are dispersing in the wild under human‐controlled ecological conditions. The concept and scale of wildity were developed as management tools for reintroduced specimens and context‐specific scenarios. Technological advances and the challenges of the Anthropocene require new communication strategies to support coexistence.

Engineering, expression in transgenic plants and characterisation of e559, a rabies virus-neutralising monoclonal antibody. [PDF]
Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) currently comprises administration of rabies vaccine together with rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) of either equine or human origin. In the developing world, RIG preparations are expensive, often in short supply, and of

Mokola Virus in Domestic Mammals, South Africa
We recently identified 2 Mokola viruses from domestic mammals (a dog and a cat) in South Africa. These cases occurred 8 years after the last reported case of infection with this virus.

Bat trait, genetic and pathogen data from large-scale investigations of African fruit bats, Eidolon helvum. [PDF]
Bats, including African straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum), have been highlighted as reservoirs of many recently emerged zoonotic viruses. This common, widespread and ecologically important species was the focus of longitudinal and continent-wide

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
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

Characteristics and Risk Perceptions of Ghanaians Potentially Exposed to Bat-Borne Zoonoses through Bushmeat. [PDF]
Emerging zoonotic pathogens from wildlife pose increasing public health threats globally. Bats, in particular, host an array of zoonotic pathogens, yet there is little research on how bats and humans interact, how people perceive bats and their ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Nonhuman primates (NHPs) can transmit zoonotic diseases to humans because of their close genetic relationship, facilitating the cross‐species transmission of certain pathogens. In Thailand, Macaca is the most common NHP genus and their inhabits area are in close proximity of human, particularly in urban and suburban areas, where ...
