The paper develops a yeast surface display library of bat antibodies to study humoral immunity to H9 influenza hemagglutinin, revealing structural and functional characteristics of bat antibodies.

The paper identifies Bartonella and hemotropic Mycoplasma species in synanthropic bats in Kenya and assesses their potential to infect humans.

This study identifies zoonotic viruses in Kenyan rodents and shrews, including rat hepatitis E virus and novel paramyxoviruses, highlighting the need for genomic surveillance.

This study shows that PUUV infection reduces survival of bank voles, especially young ones, in a natural setting, contradicting the expectation that reservoir hosts are unaffected.

This study shows that food supplementation reduces nematode abundance super-shedding in wild voles but not infection likelihood or intensity, and identifies age-related fitness impacts of nematode infection.

The paper examines how ecological factors modify the relationship between spatial overlap and hantavirus infection likelihood in wild bank voles.
