Bats have received considerable recent attention for infectious disease research because of
their potential to host and transmit viruses, including Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, and multiple …

Bats (order Chiroptera) have been increasingly recognised as important reservoir hosts for
human and animal pathogens worldwide. In this context, molecular and microscopy-based …

Some filoviruses can be transmitted to humans by zoonotic spillover events from their
natural host and filovirus outbreaks have occured with increasing frequency in the last years …

Introduction Bats, along with their ectoparasites, harbor a wide diversity of symbiotic and
potential pathogenic bacteria. Despite the enormous diversity of bats (181 species), few …

Bartonella species are facultative intracellular bacteria and recognized worldwide as
emerging zoonotic pathogens. Bartonella were isolated or identified by polymerase chain …

Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an
important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts. Surveillance is …

Bat flies are obligate ectoparasitic dipterans that are highly specialised to bats and have
apomorphic characteristics, such as absent or reduced wings, and specialised legs and …

Bats are known reservoir hosts for a wide variety of parasites and pathogens, including
bacteria and protozoans. Some of these pathogens are vector‐borne, and although their …

This paper describes and illustrates a new species of Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota,
Laboulbeniomycetes) recovered from Mastoptera guimaraesi bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae) …

The relationship among bats, ectoparasites and associated microorganisms is important to
investigate how humans can become exposed to zoonotic agents. Even though the diversity …
