Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,
