Nkoana, Tlaishego T.; Kearney, Teresa; Markotter, Wanda (Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2023-08-03)This study assessed and related quantitative age determination methods based on cranial bone fusion and dental development to linear morphometrics in Rousettus aegyptiacus. Five growth development stages were identified ...

The excreted microbiota of bats : evidence of niche specialisation based on multiple body habitats Dietrich, Muriel; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Markotter, Wanda (Oxford University Press, 2017-01)Animal-associated microbiotas form complex communities, which play crucial functions for their host, including susceptibility to infections. Despite increasing attention to bats as reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens, their ...

Szentivanyi, Tamara; Markotter, Wanda; Dietrich, Muriel; Clement, Laura; Ancay, Laurie; Brun, Loic; Genzoni, Eleonore; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, Ernest; Estok, Peter; Christe, Philippe; Glaizot, Olivier (EDP Open, 2020-12-11)Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts. Surveillance is usually performed by collecting blood ...

Geldenhuys, Marike; Weyer, Jacqueline; Kearney, Teresa; Markotter, Wanda (MDPI, 2023-01)Mammarenaviruses are hosted by several rodent species, a small number of which have been known to be zoonotic. Host surveillance among small mammals has identified a large diversity of previously undescribed mammarenaviruses. ...

Taylor, Peter John; Strydom, Erika; Richards, Leigh; Markotter, Wanda; Toussaint, Dawn Cory; Kearney, Teresa; Cotterill, F.P.D. (Woody); Howard, Alexandra; Weier, Sina Monika; Keith, Mark; Neef, Gotz; Mamba, Mnqobi L.; Magagula, Siphesihle; Monadjem, Ara (Oxford University Press, 2022-12)Ten years ago, the genus-level and species-level taxonomy of African pipistrelloid bats was in a state of flux. In spite of advances in the past decade, gaps in collecting from species-rich regions like Angola have hampered ...

Coertse, Jessica; Grobler, Colyn Stefan; Sabeta, Claude Taurai; Seamark, E.C.J.; Kearney, Teresa; Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Markotter, Wanda (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020-12)We detected 3 lyssaviruses in insectivorous bats sampled in South Africa during 2003–2018. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify Duvenhage lyssavirus and a potentially new lyssavirus, provisionally named Matlo ...

Geldenhuys, Marike; Mortlock, Marinda; Weyer, Jacqueline; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Kearney, Teresa; Gleasner, Cheryl; Erkkila, Tracy H.; Cui, Helen; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2018-03-26)Species within the Neoromicia bat genus are abundant and widely distributed in Africa. It is common for these insectivorous bats to roost in anthropogenic structures in urban regions. Additionally, Neoromicia capensis ...

Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Markotter, Wanda; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, Ernest; Broders, Hugh; Keith, Mark (Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 2021-02-24)Migration and hibernation are survival strategies that require physiological preparation using fattening. Bats employ both strategies in times of resource shortages. However, because males and females vary seasonally in ...

McMahon, William Charles; Coertse, Jessica; Kearney, Teresa; Keith, Mark; Swanepoel, Lourens H.; Markotter, Wanda (AOSIS, 2021-08)The reservoir host of Mokola virus (MOKV), a rabies-related lyssavirus species endemic to Africa, remains unknown. Only sporadic cases of MOKV have been reported since its first discovery in the late 1960s, which ...

Dietrich, Muriel; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Markotter, Wanda (Royal Society Publishing, 2018)Seasonal reproduction is a period of extreme physiological and behavioural changes, yet we know little about how it may affect host microbial communities (i.e. microbiota) and pathogen transmission. Here, we investigated ...
