*Tamanaviruses* - a primer (medium thread)
(1) Tamana bat virus (TABV) is a highly divergent #flavivirus that was isolated in 1974, from a bat trapped at the exit of Tamana cave, on the North slope of Trinidad's Mount Tamana. Image
(2) TABV was identified at the Trinidad Regional #Virus Laboratory (TRVL) as part of a post-war virus discovery effort lead by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The #Tamana cave system comprises several large limestone caverns and is a roost for several species of bat. Image
(3) Millions of bats fly out of Tamana cave exits to feed at dusk, making for an impressive spectacle.

Researchers at TRVL trapped #bats at cave exits, took samples from these bats and attempted to cultivate viruses. Image
