For the Nipah Virus, fruit bats of the Pteropus genus have been identified as the natural reservoir. The virus has been isolated in many bodily locations, such as the brain and spinal fluid, and from environmental prototypes, like bat urine and partially eaten fruit, such as found in cases of Malaysia. Antibodies of the Nipah virus have been found in the sera of fruit bats, which have been collected in India, Indonesia, and many others such as Madagascar and Ghana. The presence of these antibodies

Some of the well-known bats species in this order are Pteropus, otherwise known as the flying fox or fruit bat, the Desmodus Rotundus which is the common vampire bat, and the Myotis Lucifugus which is the very well know little brown bat. Some of the interesting things about these three bats are that the Pteropus is the largest bat in the world and the Desmodus Rotundus is the only mammal in the world to survive only on blood. Even

An ‘emerging’ disease is one that is speedily increasing in frequency or distribution. This expression not only circumscribes the diseases corresponding with previously unknown agents, but additional known diseases that are ‘re-emerging’, as well. What is it that provokes disease emergence? Epidemiological principles profess that disease is multi-factorial. That is, in inclusion to the existence of the infectious agent, additional factors, such as the agent, host, and/or the environment are all generally

sand on the bottom of the tank, and you also can put pebbles. The Botia macracantha can covers the bottom. The lighting for the tank will help the flora or the plants grow well. Some plants will be proper for the loach fish such as the Microsorum Pteropus, Anubias or the taxyphyllum. The plants of the aquarium will give them enough shadow for the fish. The condition of the river with the right shadow will make the fish feel comfort and life

Introduction The purpose of this project was to demonstrate the effects of ocean acidification and temperature increase on shellfish. Ever since the Industrial Revolution began, carbon dioxide emission in the air has greatly increased, and around the same time, the temperature of the ocean, along with the atmosphere, showed a similar trend. Scientists claimd that ocean acidification and temperature increase is deadly to marine life, including shellfish. It was hypothesized that the mass of the shells

Review of the characteristics of two tree species David Bell 198120675 HORT90043 Tree Identification and Selection WORD COUNT = 1200 (excluding tables and appendices)   Introduction These two beautiful tree species are both tall street and park trees found in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. One is a very commonly planted native tree which seems to have fallen out of favour with local Councils in this area (see Appendix A) and the other is a distinctive yet rarely planted exotic that

Kosoy et al. [11] described the presence of Bartonella in 13 insectivorous and frugivorous bat species sampled across 25 localities in Kenya. A total of 331 blood samples were re-suspended in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth and plated on agar supplemented with 10% rabbit blood, of which 106 (30.2%) were culture positive. Bartonella isolates were obtained from 23 (26%) straw-colored fruit bat (Eidolon helvum), 22 (21%) Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus), four (44%) African sheath-tailed

Introduction Today, humankind is faced with various obstacles and challenges requiring global responses and solutions to the spread of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). EIDs can be defined as infections that are newly emerging or have existed previously in a particular region and then reemerged at a rapidly increasing incidence rate (Calistri et al., 2013). Many of the emerging infectious diseases today, including those caused by transboundary diseases and bioterrorist agents, are zoonotic diseases
