Bats and Bacterial Pathogens: A Review

Abstract: The occurrence of emerging infectious diseases and their relevance to human health has increased the interest in bats as potential reservoir hosts and vectors of zoonotic pathogens. But while previous and ongoing research activities predominantly focused on viral agents, the prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in bats and their impact on bat mortality have largely neglected. Enteric pathogens found in bats are often considered to originate from the bats' diet and foraging habitats, despite the fact that little i… Show more

“…Many bats dwell in isolated locations (e.g., caves, abandoned mines), and they are mostly nocturnal so they often only hunt and forage at night. Many zoonotically and epizootically relevant pathogens (e.g., Bartonella , Histoplasma ) (Calisher, Childs, Field, Holmes, & Schountz, 2006; Muhldorfer, 2013; Wang et al., 2006) do not cause significant die‐offs so carcasses are not available for collection. Furthermore, the protected status and “uncharismatic” nature of bats may lead to substantial biases, which cause bats to be underrepresented in surveillance efforts (Grogan et al., 2014; Stallknecht, 2007).…”

“…Nietoperze to również pierwotni gospodarze zoonotycznych bakterii, którymi są przedstawiciele Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia i Campylobacter (66). Od nietoperzy zdrowych lub z objawami chorobo-wymi izolowano Salmonella Enteritidis i Salmonella Typhimurium, które okazały się chorobotwórcze dla człowieka i zwierząt domowych, w tym gospodarskich.…”

“…Ponadto ektopasożyty, m.in. kleszcze stale bytujące na skórze nietoperzy, są często zakażone bakteriami z rodzaju Bartonella, Borrelia, i Rickettsia, będąc czynnikiem ryzyka dla żywiciela, w tym przypadku nietoperza i innych gatunków zwierząt domowych oraz człowieka (66).…”
