Mating behaviour and connectivity drive sporadic European bat lyssavirus 2 infections in Myotis myotis

Frédéric Touzalin, Marine Wasniewski, Evelyne Picard Meyer, Olivier Farcy, Yann Le Bris, Arnaud Lehouedec, Corentin LeFloch, Megan E Griffiths, Sébastien J. Puechmaille, Emma C. Teeling, Juan M. Morales, Mafalda S. Viana, Daniel G. Streicker

The paper integrates ecological data and mechanistic modeling to show that mating behavior and maternal immunity drive EBLV-2 dynamics in bats, with limited population impact.

Dynamics of influenza transmission in vampire bats revealed by longitudinal monitoring and a large-scale anthropogenic perturbation

Megan E. Griffiths, Alice Broos, Juan M. Morales, I-Ting Tu, Laura M. Bergner, Abdelkader Behdenna, William Valderrama, Carlos Tello, Jorge E. Carrera, Sergio Recuenco, Daniel G. Streicker, Mafalda Viana

The paper uses longitudinal data and a cull event to show vampire bats maintain influenza virus independently of fruit bats and that culling reduces transmission.
