Video-recording of rusty-spotted genets (Genetta maculata) consuming cave bats: implications for pathogen transmission

2023-09-13

Abstract excerpt

We present the first videos depicting the consumption of bats by rusty-spotted genets (Genetta maculata) inside a cave in the Republic of Congo. Following the implementation of a camera-trap monitoring protocol of interactions between cave bats and wildlife, we identified important genet activity in one of the caves in our study. Between 2022 and 2023, we recorded four events of bat or rodent consumption (includin...
