“…In agreement with other studies 15,28,29 , it appears that the site had an increased prevalence of coronavirus when used as a maternity colony (during the mark-recapture study and exactly one year prior), as opposed to other times (three months prior) when no coronavirus was detected and no pregnant females were observed.…”

“…Similarly, a correlation between the detection of coronaviruses in female bats associated with maternity colonies has also been established 28,29 . The colony used in our study had been selected for its ease of access and the high affinity of bats to the roost, providing a successful recapture rate.…”

Persistent or long-term infection of Australian bat coronavirusSubsequent to these ecological studies, we identified four putative novel coronaviruses (two Alpha-and two Betacoronaviruses) in seven species of Australian bats 17,18 . One of these species (Myotis macropus, Figure 1), had individuals infected with a putative novel Alphacoronavirus (detection of coronavirus RNA in faeces from bats enrolled in a mark-recapture study) over periods of up to 11 weeks, supporting the hypothesis for persistent or long-term infection as a method of maintaining coronaviruses in bats 17,19 .

“…3), the sequences of the Myotis coronavirus most closely resembled sequences from Group 1 coronaviruses, including viruses from the other North American bats and Asian bats Rhinolophus sinicus, Myotis ricketti and Miniopterus australis (Woo et al, 2006). In our analysis, the sequences of coronaviruses detected in European bats (Gloza-Rausch et al, 2008) formed a distinct clade within the group 1 coronaviruses.…”

“…Such surveys have been conducted elsewhere in the world with the identification of several previously unknown bat viruses. Because of the devastating effect of SARS on the economy of several countries, most of these studies have specifically targeted coronaviruses (Carrington et al, 2008;Chu et al, 2006, Dominguez et al, 2007Gloza-Rausch et al, 2008;Lau et al, 2005;Poon et al, 2005). Our objective in this study was to carry out a preliminary screen of bats in Canada for the presence of viruses of several families.…”

Several instances of emerging diseases in humans appear to be caused by the spillover of viruses endemic to bats, either directly or through other animal intermediaries. The objective of this study was to detect, identify and characterize viruses in bats in the province of Manitoba and other regions of Canada. Bats were sampled from three sources: live-trapped Myotis lucifugus from Manitoba, rabies-negative Eptesicus fuscus, M. lucifugus, M. yumanensis, M. septentrionalis, M. californicus, M. evotis, Lasionycteris (L.) noctivagans and Lasiurus (Las.) cinereus, provided by the Centre of Expertise for Rabies of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), and L. noctivagans, Las. cinereus and Las. borealis collected from a wind farm in Manitoba. We attempted to isolate viruses from fresh tissue samples taken from trapped bats in cultured cells of bat, primate, rodent, porcine, ovine and avian origin. We also screened bat tissues by PCR using primers designed to amplify nucleic acids from members of certain families of viruses. We detected RNA of a group 1 coronavirus from M. lucifugus (3 of 31 animals) and DNA from an asyet undescribed polyomavirus from female M. lucifugus (4 of 31 animals) and M. californicus (pooled tissues from two females).

“…Las redes fueron instaladas al anochecer (en el ocaso) y se revisaron cada 10 minutos, tomando nota de la hora de cada captura. Con el propósito de no duplicar datos, todos los individuos fueron marcados en el codo con esmalte de uñas (Gloza-Rausch et al, 2008;Stawski, 2012) después de ser procesados, fueron puestos en libertad, de inmediato.…”

English title: Agricultural underpasses: their importance for bats as roosts and role in facilitating movement across roads ResumenCon objeto de ampliar el conocimiento sobre la utilización de los pasos inferiores agrícolas por parte de los murciélagos se han desarrollado trabajos de detección acústica, captura y revisión de refugios en cinco pasos inferiores ubicados a lo largo de 8250m de un tramo de la carretera situada en el Norte de Portugal en una zona rural de uso agrícola y pastoreo. Los pasos tienen las dimensiones medias de 9 m de anchura, 4,25 m de altura y 34 m de profundidad. Los resultados de los registros acústicos y de captura de murciélagos con redes de niebla, permitieron confirmar la utilización de por lo menos 12 especies (Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. kuhlii, P. pygmaeus, Myotis daubentonii, M. escalerai, M. myotis, Nyctalus leisleri, Plecotus austriacus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. mehelyi/R. euryale y Eptesicus serotinus/E. isabellinus).La inspección y revisión de refugios en los 5 pasos inferiores han permitido constatar la presencia de por lo menos 6 especies (M. daubentonii, M. myotis, N. leisleri, P. austriacus, Eptesicus serotinus/E. isabellinus y Pipistrellus sp.) que usaron fisuras dentro de los túneles de entre 1,2 y 1,9 cm. Para una misma altura (4,2-4,3m) y anchura de túnel (9m), los pasos más utilizados fueron los de mayor longitud. Estos resultados confirman la importancia que los pasos inferiores tienen en la conectividad y minimización de los impactos de las carreteras, así como proporcionan nuevos refugios artificiales para los murciélagos. Se incita a promover seguimientos y estudios ecológicos más detallados que profundicen en el conocimiento de la utilización de los quirópteros de estas estructuras así como sus características físicas y su entorno y en otras carreteras.Palabras clave: Carreteras, Pasos inferiores, Murciélagos, Conservación, Portugal. AbstractThe main goal of this study was to contribute for the knowledge of the use of under-roads passageways by bats in northern of Portugal. We selected five underpasses in a road stretch of 8.250 m located in a rural agricultural and grazing area. The average dimensions of underpasses were, 9 m wide, 4.25 m high and 34 m deep. The data was obtained through acoustic detection, mist net capture and roost inspection. Acoustic and mist netting results confirm the use of the underpasses by at least 12 species (Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. kuhlii, P. pygmaeus, Myotis daubentonii, M. escalerai, M. myotis, Nyctalus leisleri, Plecotus austriacus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. mehelyi/R. euryale and Eptesicus serotinus/E. isabellinus). Data from roost inspection in all the underpasses showed the presence of at least six species (M. daubentonii, M. myotis, N. leisleri, P. austriacus, Eptesicus serotinus/E. isabellinus y Pipistrellus sp.), they used fissure within the tunnels of between 1.2 and 1.9 cm. For the same height (4.2-4.3 m) and width (9m), the underpasses most used were the longest....
