摘要: Many of the recently emerging highly virulent zoonotic diseases have a likely bat origin, for example Hendra, Nipah, Ebola and caused by coronaviruses. Presumably because their long history coevolution, most these viruses remain subclinical in bats, but potential to cause severe illnesses domestic wildlife animals also humans. Spillovers from bats humans either happen directly (via contact with infected bats) or indirectly intermediate hosts such as animals, consuming food items contaminated saliva, faeces urine via other environmental sources). Increasing numbers breakouts viral among livestock mainly been accounted human encroachment into natural habitat, well agricultural intensification, deforestation bushmeat consumption. Persecution including destruction roosts culling whole colonies, has led not only declines protected species, an increase virus prevalence some populations. Educational efforts are needed order prevent future spillovers bat-borne livestock, further protect unnecessary counterproductive culling.
