Role of individual and population heterogeneity in shaping dynamics of multi-pathogen shedding in an island endemic bat

How do urban-dwelling bats cope with urbanisation? Sex-dependent plasticity of stress, microbiome and pathogen shedding
Abstract Understanding wildlife's stress and infection response patterns is crucial, especially for species like bats that are ecologically important and potential zoonotic reservoirs. While highly sensitive to habitat destruction and land use change, bats have shown adaptability in human-modified landscapes. This study investigates the impact of urbanisation on the endemic Reunion free-tailed bat (Mormopterus francoismoutoui), which roosts in a variety of rapidly urbanised habitats.
Bat things come in threes: within-host dynamics of herpesvirus triple infection in bats
Abstract Understanding viral community ecology in bats is essential for elucidating shedding patterns and the drivers of co-infections. In this study, we explore the genetic diversity and within-host dynamics of herpesviruses (HSV) in Mormopterus francoismoutoui, a tropical insectivorous bat endemic to Reunion Island. Over three consecutive years, we collected saliva samples from seven roosts, including repeated samples from recaptured individuals.
