Incorporating environmental heterogeneity and observation effort to predict host distribution and viral spillover from a bat reservoir.

The paper predicts the spatial distribution of vampire bat roosts and identifies undetected hotspots to improve rabies spillover risk assessment.

Diversification of mammalian deltaviruses by host shifting

This paper shows deltaviruses diversify by shifting between mammalian hosts, with evidence from sequence data and field studies in bats.
