Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats. [PDF]
Epidemiol Infect, 2017 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,

Validating Wing Biopsies for Blood-Borne Pathogen Characterization in Bats. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Wildlife surveillance is critical for tracking disease emergence, characterizing pathogen diversity, and assessing spillover risks. Blood‐borne pathogens are of particular interest for such efforts due to their global distribution, broad host taxa, and zoonotic potential.
