Viral diversity, ecological interconnectedness, and the identification of mammalian chuviruses in Australian microbats
Microbats are a large and ecologically important group of Australian mammalian fauna. However, their RNA virome diversity, as well as its ecological and evolutionary significance, has received limited...

Limited diversity of bat-associated RNA viruses in endangered and geographically isolated Christmas Island flying foxes
Bats are commonly thought to harbour a high diversity and abundance of RNA viruses, some of which are able to jump species boundaries to emerge in new…
