Fascinating story about evidence that #H5N1#birdflu infected vampire bats in South America, raising the prospect of a potential new & dangerous host for the virus. Some good news: The virus didn't appear to spread well among the bats. By @martinenserink. https://t.co/97znIjzis4
@CVRinfo@Megan3Griffiths We also saw some surprising effects of bat culls aimed at rabies. Flu transmission was cut in half, supporting vampire bats as maintenance hosts and showing how intervention can have surprising effects on co-circulating, non-target viruses https://t.co/ibmMVfiSVy
๐ฆ Understanding bat flu and the risks it carries
@Megan3Griffiths, @DanielStreicker & colleagues reveal how flu spreads in vampire bats, highlighting potential risks for cross-species transmission and future outbreaks.
