Nipah virus detection at bat roosts following spillover events in Bangladesh, 2012-2019

C. D. McKee, A. Islam, M. Z. Rahman, S. U. Khan, M. Rahman, S. M. Satter, A. Islam, C. K. Yinda, J. H. Epstein, P. Daszak, V. J. Munster, P. J. Hudson, R. K. Plowright, S. P. Luby, E. S. Gurley

The paper investigates Nipah virus shedding in bat roosts near human cases in Bangladesh, finding that viral RNA can be detected up to 52 days post-exposure, supporting targeted sampling for better viral ecology understanding.

Manipulating vector transmission reveals local processes in bacterial communities of bats

C. D. McKee, C. T. Webb, M. Y. Kosoy, Y. Bai, L. M. Osikowicz, R. Suu-Ire, Y. Ntiamoa-Baidu, A. A. Cunningham, J. L. Wood, D. T. Hayman

The paper manipulates bat fly populations in fruit bats to study how vector transmission affects Bartonella bacterial communities, finding that ecological drift and host immunity drive community changes.

The ecology of Nipah virus in Bangladesh: a nexus of land use change and opportunistic feeding behavior in bats

C. D. McKee, A. Islam, S. P. Luby, H. Salje, P. J. Hudson, R. K. Plowright, E. S. Gurley

The paper examines factors driving Nipah virus spillover in Bangladesh, finding winter temperature explains 53% of annual spillover variation and linking land use changes to bat behavior and viral transmission risk.

Bats are key hosts in the radiation of mammal-associated Bartonella bacteria

C. D. McKee, Y. Bai, C. T. Webb, M. Y. Kosoy

This study uses phylogenetic analysis of Bartonella strains to show bats are ancestral hosts and key drivers in the diversification and spread of Bartonella bacteria across mammals.
