Evidence of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bats and Its Planetary Health Impact for Surveillance of Zoonotic Spillover Events: A Scoping Review.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other outbreaks, such as SARS and Ebola, bats are recognized as a critical species for mediating zoonotic infectious disease spillover events. While there is a growing concern of increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally during this pandemic, knowledge of AMR circulating between bats and humans is limited. In this paper, we have reviewed the evidence of AMR in bats and discussed the planetary health aspect of AMR to elucidate how this is associated with the emergence, spread, and persistence of AMR at the human-animal interface.

The pathogenesis of Nipah virus: A review.

Nipah virus (NiV), an emerging zoonotic virus, has been associated with several outbreaks with high death rates, mainly in South and Southeast Asia. NiV is responsible for Encephalitis and systemic vasculitis, and occasionally respiratory diseases accompanied by it. Though fruit bats are the natural source of NiV, it can be transmitted in a zoonotic manner directly or via an intermediate host (e.
