Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite harboring diverse pathogenic viruses, bats rarely exhibit clinical symptoms of the diseases. Previous research has reported evolutionary characteristics in key antiviral gene families in bats, such as natural killer cell receptors, MHC class I genes, and type I interferons, suggesting that bats may possess an immune tolerance that allows them to host viruses asymptomatically. However, this...
