Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Importance of Bats in Agriculture
TL;DR: Analysis suggesting that loss of bats in North America could lead to agricultural losses estimated at more than $3.7 billion/year is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of bats and rodents as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses: are bats special?
Angela D. Luis,Angela D. Luis,David T. S. Hayman,Thomas J. O'Shea,Paul M. Cryan,Amy T. Gilbert,Juliet R. C. Pulliam,Juliet R. C. Pulliam,James N. Mills,Mary E. Timonin,Craig K. R. Willis,Andrew A. Cunningham,Anthony R. Fooks,Charles E. Rupprecht,James L. N. Wood,Colleen T. Webb +15 more
TL;DR: The results point to a new hypothesis to explain in part why bats host more zoonotic viruses per species: the stronger effect of sympatry in bats and more viruses shared between bat species suggests that interspecific transmission is more prevalent among bats than among rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental infection of bats with Geomyces destructans causes white-nose syndrome
Jeffrey M. Lorch,Carol U. Meteyer,Melissa Behr,Justin G. Boyles,Paul M. Cryan,Alan C. Hicks,Anne Ballmann,Jeremy T. H. Coleman,David N. Redell,DeeAnn M. Reeder,David S. Blehert +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exposure of healthy little brown bats to pure cultures of G. destructans causes white-nose syndrome and that the recent emergence of WNS in North America may represent translocation of the fungus to a region with a naive population of animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inoculation of bats with European Geomyces destructans supports the novel pathogen hypothesis for the origin of white-nose syndrome
Lisa Warnecke,James M. Turner,Trent K. Bollinger,Jeffrey M. Lorch,Vikram Misra,Paul M. Cryan,Gudrun Wibbelt,David S. Blehert,Craig K. R. Willis +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that altered torpor-arousal cycles underlie mortality from white-nose syndrome and provide direct evidence that Gd is a novel pathogen to North America from Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal distribution of migratory tree bats (lasiurus and lasionycteris ) in north america
TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempted to clarify patterns of seasonal distribution by mapping museum occurrence records by month and found that seasonal changes in the distribution of records indicate seasonal movements of tree bats.
