There is to date not a single documented case of virus transmission from #Eidolon - but sadly we witness ongoing roost destruction (not only but often) due to fear

Straw-coloured fruit bats are the most abundant African bats. As a new study shows, there is no evidence for widespread transmission of viruses by this fascinating animals. mpg.de/21135641/1116-… #virology #zoonoses @MPI_animalbehav

It was a team effort @ReederLab @SJPuechmaille @dechmannlab @SchaerJuliane @MNagyBat @WMarkotter, and the message that evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in Africa is crucial for bat conservation @JulesAtagana @ngambaisland @AVijiji @imakando3
Royal Society Publishing@RSocPublishing
A new #BiologyLetters systematic review shows that robust evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in most African virus studies. It calls to optimise sampling and conserve bats. Read it in full here - ow.ly/YEQH50Q81RG #epidemiology #Chiroptera #virus

Though being silent for so long (sorry!!!), the network continues to monitor and protect #Eidolon, and we have a lot to do... and that's why this paper is important - we're so excited and happy it's out now 🦇🦇
dechmannlab ⭐️@dechmannlab
big day for me, this paper is hugely important. please share : using #Africa as an example we reviewed #bat #virus research and the result is baffling. This is a call to plan bat virus research and present results carefully! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… @MPI_animalbehav @ReederLab

The #Eidolon numbers @ngambaisland are at their annual peak - what a beautiful emergence scene, thanks @JosephMasereka for sharing the video 🦇

@dechmannlab @EdwardHurme @ReederLab @WMarkotter @adria_baucells @helenfromz @RachaelCooBoh Not intentionally, but it happened several times, mostly in more open savanna areas. If there's a bunch of them, it can get quite shaky ;-)

Glenys, the guardian angel of the #eidolon colony in Ndola, Zambia is already preparing for the return of her bats. She‘ll do a painting competition in schools around the colony and the winners get a…#bat of course. Go Glenys! @eidolonnetwork @EdwardHurme @bats_w_borders
