“…Similarly in Andhra Pradesh State, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu (2002) showed that the magnitude of damage caused by C. sphinx to grapes varied with the distance of the vines from the periphery of the vineyard. Damage was extensive (90 %) at the periphery, but none was recorded in the centre, where the higher density of the vines made approach flights difficult.…”

Pteropodid bats damage a wide range of fruit crops, exacerbated by continuing loss of their natural food as forests are cleared. In some countries where such damage occurs, bats are not legally protected. In others, as a result of pressure from fruit growers, legal protection is either not implemented or overridden by legislation specifically allowing the killing of bats. Lethal control is generally ineffective and often carried out with shotguns making it an animal welfare issue, as many more animals are injured or orphaned than are killed. Here, we review the literature and current state of the conflict between fruit growers and pteropodids and describe a wide range of potential mitigation techniques. We compile an extensive list of bats and the fruit crops on which they feed where this has resulted in conflicts, or could lead to conflict, with fruit growers. We also discuss the legal status of bats in some countries where such conflicts occur. We found the most effective means of preventing bat damage to crops is the use of fixed nets (that generally prevent entanglement) covering a whole orchard. Netting individual trees, or fruit panicles, using small net bags, is also effective. Management methods that assist netting include pruning to maintain low stature of trees. These

“…12). For example, in Indian vineyards, Cynopterus sphinx damages up to 90 % of the crop along peripheries of plantations and may cause revenue losses of up to US $590 per ha and year (Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2002). In the Neotropics, sanguivorous vampire bats can cause substantial economic damage: Estimates for 1968 placed losses at $47.5 million USD for over 512,000 rabiesrelated cattle deaths in Latin America (Arellano-Sota 1988).…”

Intensification in land-use and farming practices has had largely negative effects on bats, leading to population declines and concomitant losses of ecosystem services. Current trends in land-use change suggest that agricultural areas will further expand, while production systems may either experience further intensification (particularly in developing nations) or become more environmentally friendly (especially in Europe). In this chapter, we review the existing literature

“…Dominasi C. brachyotis dipengaruhi daya adaptasi yang tinggi terhadap berbagai lingkungan sehingga dapat ditemukan di daerah hutan pegunungan, perkebunan, dataran rendah, sampai daerah terbuka atau terfragmentasi (Francis, 2008;Maryati et al, 2008). Sumber lain menyebutkan, C. brachyotis juga dapat ditemukan pada hutan sekunder dan dan kebun buah-buahan (Srinivasulu & Srinivasulu, 2013).…”

Macroglossus sobrinus, Cynopterus brachyotis, dan Cynopterus sphinx terkonfirmasi sebagai reservoir Lyssavirus di Provinsi Riau. Penelitian dilakukan di tiga kabupaten, yaitu Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti, Kota Dumai, dan Kabupaten Bengkalis. Lokasi pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada ekosistem hutan, non hutan, dan pantai.Penangkapan kelelawar dilakukan menggunakan mist net, harp net, dan hand net. Kelelawar terkoleksi diambil sampel swab trakea untuk pemeriksaan Lyssavirus. Deteksi Lyssavirus dilakukan meggunakan metode PCR. Dari 356 sampel yang diperoleh, 19 sampel terkonfirmasi positif Lyssavirus.
