Body site, host species, and seasonal drivers of zoonotic bacterial distribution in Korean insectivorous bat microbiomes

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Bats harbor diverse zoonotic bacteria, yet how pathogen carriage varies across body sites, host species, and seasons --- and whether individual bats maintain infections chronically --- remains largely unknown. We surveyed 2,747 oral, skin, and stool samples from eight insectivorous bat species across four seasons (2021–2024) in South Korea using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Ten zoonotic...
