The paper identifies and describes Picornaviridae and Caliciviridae viruses in Malagasy fruit bats, finding evidence of cross-continental genetic exchange shaping their diversification.

The paper reports the discovery of kobuvirus RNA in Malagasy fruit bats and phylogenetically characterizes a full genome sequence, placing it within the Aichivirus A clade, highlighting potential zoonotic risks.

The paper examines ectoparasite diversity and seasonal patterns in two Madagascar fruit bat species using morphological and DNA barcoding methods, finding climate variables influence parasitism.

The paper detects and characterizes a near-whole genome sequence of a novel astrovirus from Malagasy fruit bats using metagenomic sequencing and performs phylogenetic analysis.
