Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, and the rate of emergence
of zoonotic diseases is on the rise. Bats are being increasingly recognised as an
important reservoir of zoonotic viruses of different families, including SARS coronavirus,
Nipah virus, Hendra virus and Ebola virus. Understanding bats' role in emerging zoonotic
diseases is crucial to this rapidly expanding area of research. Bats and Viruses:
From Pathogen Discovery to Host Genomics provides an updated overview of research
focusing on bat biology and the role bats play as hosts of many major zoonotic viruses.
The text covers bat biology, immunology, and genomics. Chapters also delve into the
various major bat-borne virus families, including lyssaviruses, paramyxoviruses, coronaviruses,
filoviruses and reoviruses, among others. Edited by leaders in the field, Bats and
Viruses: From Pathogen Discovery to Host Genomics is a timely, invaluable reference
for bat researchers studying microbiology, virology and immunology, as well as infectious
disease workers and epidemiologists, among others
