Mass extinctions, biodiversity and mitochondrial function: are bats 'special' as reservoirs for emerging viruses?

Current opinion in virology - 1 Dec 2011

Wang Lin-Fa, Walker Peter J, Poon Leo L M

Abstract excerpt

For the past 10-15 years, bats have attracted growing attention as reservoirs of emerging zoonotic viruses. This has been due to a combination of factors including the emergence of highly virulent zoonotic pathogens, such as Hendra, Nipah, SARS and Ebola viruses, and the high rate of detection of...
