This study evaluates the reliability of using wing biopsies to detect blood-borne pathogens in bats, finding lower detection rates compared to blood but still viable for initial pathogen discovery.

This study examines how habitat fragmentation affects Bartonella and hemoplasma infections in vampire bats over seven years, finding genotype-specific responses to forest loss and temporal changes.

The paper identifies novel hemotropic mycoplasmas and bartonellae in Mexican free-tailed bats and sympatric species, highlighting their genetic diversity and potential zoonotic significance.
