Modeling the dietary effects on bat viral shedding and potential consequences for pathogen spillover Open
Changes in the quality and quantity of food resources can affect individuals’ health, the way they control infections and consequently the likelihood of onward transmission of pathogens. Dietary shifts have been proposed as one of the fact…

Diet-induced changes in metabolism influence immune response and viral shedding dynamics in Jamaican fruit bats Open
Land-use change may drive viral spillover from bats into humans, partly through dietary shifts caused by decreased availability of native foods and increased availability of cultivated foods. We manipulated diets of Jamaican fruit bats to …

Periodic shifts in viral load increase risk of spillover from bats Open
Prediction and management of zoonotic pathogen spillover requires an understanding of infection dynamics within reservoir host populations. Transmission risk is often assessed using prevalence of infected hosts, with infection status based…

Antiviral response mechanisms in a Jamaican Fruit Bat intestinal organoid model of SARS-CoV-2 infection Open
Bats are natural reservoirs for several zoonotic viruses, potentially due to an enhanced capacity to control viral infection. However, the mechanisms of antiviral responses in bats are poorly defined. Here we established a Jamaican fruit b…
