This study identifies Leptospira in Sri Lankan bats, suggesting they may act as reservoirs for leptospirosis, with implications for public health.

This study evaluates the effects of Simvastatin, Phenytoin, and Ascorbic acid on endothelial dysfunction in Ea.hy926 cells treated with DHF serum, finding that low-dose Simvastatin reduces cell-cell distances and increases cell size.

This study compares the virome composition of different shedding routes in M. fuliginosus bats, identifying novel viruses and shedding patterns.
