During routine inspections of 4 bat shelters in central-eastern Poland, 36 dead bats belonging to 6 species were found: Myotis daubentonii, M. nattereri, M. myotis, Nyctalus noctula, Plecotus auritus and Eptescius serotinus. In the laboratory, 298 arthropods from 15 taxa (57 insects and 241 mites) were collected from these bats, and their relationships with their hosts were analysed. The first probable record of I. ricinus feeding on P. auritus is published.

RHIM is a protein motif facilitating the assembly of large signaling complexes triggering regulated cell death. A few DNA viruses employ viral RHIMs mimicking host RHIMs and counteract cell death by interacting with host RHIM-proteins to alleviate antiviral defenses. Whether RNA viruses operate such viral RHIMs remains unknown.

Bats are considered natural hosts for numerous viruses. Their ability to carry viruses that cause severe diseases or even death in other mammals without falling ill themselves has attracted widespread research attention. Toll-like receptor 2 forms heterodimers with Toll-like receptor 1 or Toll-like receptor 6 on cell membranes, recognizing specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns and playing a key role in innate immune responses.

Zoonotic viruses originating from reservoir hosts, such as bats and birds, often cause severe illness and outbreaks amongst humans. Upon zoonotic virus transmission, infected cells mount innate immune responses that include the activation of programmed cell death pathways to recruit innate immune cells to the site of infection and eliminate viral replication niches. Different inflammatory and non-inflammatory cell death pathways, such as pyroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, and PANoptosis can undergo concurrent activation in humans leading to mortality and morbidity during zoonosis.

The Marburg and Ebola viruses belong to the Filoviridae family and are known to cause emerging zoonotic diseases. These viruses have a high case fatality rate and are easily transmissible from person to person, which makes them capable of triggering outbreaks, including in non-endemic regions, and are also considered agents of bioterrorism. Fruit bats are the natural reservoirs of these filoviruses.
