It was a team effort @ReederLab @SJPuechmaille @dechmannlab @SchaerJuliane @MNagyBat @WMarkotter, and the message that evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in Africa is crucial for bat conservation @JulesAtagana @ngambaisland @AVijiji @imakando3

Though being silent for so long (sorry!!!), the network continues to monitor and protect #Eidolon, and we have a lot to do... and that's why this paper is important - we're so excited and happy it's out now 🦇🦇

big day for me, this paper is hugely important. please share : using #Africa as an example we reviewed #bat #virus research and the result is baffling. This is a call to plan bat virus research and present results carefully! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2023.03… @MPI_animalbehav @ReederLab
