Dietrich, Muriel; Tjale, Mabotse A.; Weyer, Jacqueline; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Nel, Louis Hendrik; Monadjem, Ara; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2016-03-21)In addition to several emerging viruses, bats have been reported to host multiple bacteria but their zoonotic threats remain poorly understood, especially in Africa where the diversity of bats is important. Here, we ...
