Article Synopsis
- The straw-colored fruit bat is essential for plant population health in tropical Africa, but habitat loss has forced it to adapt to urban living, increasing human-bat interactions.
- High contact with these bats raises concerns about the potential spread of coronaviruses, necessitating research to understand the timing and dynamics of virus shedding.
- Our study in Ghana and Tanzania found that the risk of coronavirus shed by E. helvum peaks during the pup weaning period, suggesting that protecting human populations should focus on reducing contact with bats during this time.
