| novel coronaviruses, astroviruses, adenoviruses and circoviruses in insectivorous bats from northern china. | bats are considered as the reservoirs of several emerging infectious disease, and novel viruses are continually found in bats all around the world. studies conducted in southern china found that bats carried a variety of viruses. however, few studies have been conducted on bats in northern china, which harbours a diversity of endemic insectivorous bats. it is important to understand the prevalence and diversity of viruses circulating in bats in northern china. in this study, a total of 145 insec ... | 2017 | 28371451 |
| novel bartonella species in insectivorous bats, northern china. | bartonella species are emerging human pathogens. bats are known to carry diverse bartonella species, some of which are capable of infecting humans. however, as the second largest mammalian group by a number of species, the role of bats as the reservoirs of bartonella species is not fully explored, in term of their species diversity and worldwide distribution. china, especially northern china, harbors a number of endemic insectivorous bat species; however, to our knowledge, there are not yet stud ... | 2017 | 28081122 |
| trypanosoma dionisii in insectivorous bats from northern china. | although bats were considered as a major host of trypanosomatid flagellates, information of trypanosomes in bats is unknown in china. we collected bats in 2015 from shandong province of china and used pcr to amplify the trypanosoma glycosomal glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (ggapdh) gene and 18s rrna gene from the bat blood samples and heart tissues. the results showed that 10.3% (13/126) of bats (eptesicus serotinus and myotis pequinius) were positive for trypanosomatid dna and dna seque ... | 2019 | 30826326 |
| pathogenic leptospira species in insectivorous bats, china, 2015. | pcr amplification of the rrs2 gene indicated that 50% (62/124) of insectivorous bats from eastern china were infected with leptospira borgpetersenii, l. kirschneri, and several potentially new leptospira species. multilocus sequence typing defined 3 novel sequence types in l. kirschneri, suggesting that bats are major carriers of leptospira. | 2018 | 29774833 |
