“…Only three, the Indian flying fox, the fulvous fruit bat (Rousettus leschenaulti), and the shortnosed fruit bat (Cynopterus sphinx) are common throughout the country. The other species are rare and are found only in the mountains and Andaman and Nicobar islands near Thailand [2,9].…”

Recent novel coronavirus outbreak in WuhanCity of Hubei province in China infected nearly 70,000 individuals and killed more than 1700 people within a short span of time leading to global pandemic. The disease is now spread to 26 countries in Asia, North America, Europe and Australasia. The virus is spreading rapidly to Asiapacific and Southeast Asian countries. The disease is posing a serious threat to human population and has devastating impact on public health and economy. So far 3 Indians are infected and India is at risk of rapid spread of the disease because of its geographical location and other favorable conditions. With a poorer global health security index compared to China (India-57 and China-51), any such situation will have worse outcome. In near future there are also possibilities of similar kind of disease outbreak caused by new strains of coronaviruses due to factors like species jump of new viruses, high population density and inadequate medical facilities. In this short review we have highlighted the risk factors and transmission dynamics of coronaviruses that may pose a serious threat to India. We have also discussed about the possible preventive measure our country should take to control any such outbreak situation.

“…The book "Mammals of northeastern India" by Choudhury (2013) is the most valuable for the taxonomic and geographic distribution of the mammalian species in the region. Most recent records like distribution list of the bat fauna of Assam by Boro et al (2018), distribution of Mammals in the Indian Himalayan region by Kamalakannan et al (2018), mammals in Arunachal Pradesh by Kumar (2018), bat fauna of Meghalaya by Saikia et al (2018), mammalian fauna in Meghalaya by Lyngdoh et al (2019), review of the bacular morphology of some Indian bats by Srinivasulu et al (2020), and some other recent discovery of mammals in the region shows the importance to update the mammalian records of the region. In addition, taxonomic revisions especially of the lower mammalian orders are one of the reasons for updating of the checklist.…”

Mammals of northeastern India: an updated checklist

A systematic review was carried out to prepare a checklist of the mammalian species of northeastern India. The region is located between two prominent biodiversity hotspots, Himalaya and Indo-Burma. Though it is only 8% of the country, it supports almost half of the country’s total wild flora and fauna. Ongoing developmental activities such as the construction of roads, electrification, and mining in and around the wildlife habitats have threatened the survival of many species of wildlife. A lot of literature has been checked to understand the status and distribution of wildlife in the region and the present manuscript is prepared from existing literature. A total of 267 species representing 11 orders and 38 families from the region have been reported. A state-wise updated list of species along with their status as per IUCN, WPA (Wildlife Protection Act) of India, 1972 and CITES has been provided which is intended to serve as a baseline data for further research in mammalian fauna of the region.

“…The north eastern region of India exhibits rich abundance of mammalian fauna including 70 bat species ( Bora et al, 2018). The Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata contributed immensely in the study and succeeded in recording 44 bat species from Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura during the 1990s (Das et al, 1995;Sinha, 1999;Mandal et al, 2000).…”

O n l i n e C o p y Ten bat species were first time recorded Diagnostic morphological characters of bat were used for species identification Study the diversity of bat fauna and prepared checklist in Mizoram. To protect and conserve bat fauna in Mizoram : urgent need for making public aware of the beneficial aspects of bats. Total of 36 bat species were identified in Mizoram. Nine species and 27 species insectivorous bats. frugivorous Nine bat species were rediscovered Present study identified nineteen bat species
