Our new empirical study published in @Nature shows that rapid changes in bat ecology and behavior – driven by habitat loss and climate variability – drove the emergence of Hendra virus, a fatal pathogen in horses and humans.

The study, by @BatOneHealth authors Peggy Eby, @ali_bat, @rainamontana, @PeterPjh18, Andy Hoegh, and others, presents long-term data and models that predict spillovers.

The data suggest an effective way to prevent the next pandemic is by protecting & restoring wildlife habitats

New paper by @dev_n_jones @rainamontana @caraebrook and colleagues about gut microbiome and its relevance on bat health and viral hosting capacity in @TrendsMicrobiol

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The gastrointestinal (GIT) microbiome plays a large role in host health for many animals.

Research on the role of the GIT microbiome in bat health and consequent infection dynamics is not well understood.
