Neotropical bats as bioindicators for emerging zoonoses in Central America: A case study identifying <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> in bats from Belize using metagenomic next-generation sequencing

2025-12-11

Abstract excerpt

Emerging zoonoses remain a global public health concern. Surveillance of infectious and vector-borne diseases is vital for predicting and mitigating detrimental effects of zoonotic spillover events. Beyond assessing what microorganisms are circulating in specific environments, it is important to understand how potential reservoir hosts, especially animals such as bats, participate in pathogen transmission. Bats ca...
