动物生物科学评论 6：23-46； DJ 贝克尔等人。 2019。生物学快报 15：20190423）。关于先天免疫、适应性免疫和可能使蝙蝠成为特殊病毒宿主的特征的三章很好地介绍了快速发展但仍处于新生阶段的蝙蝠宿主生物学领域（例如，ML Baker和T. Schountz。2018。哺乳动物：翼手目：蝙蝠的免疫学。比较免疫学进展第839-862页，由EL Cooper编辑。Cham（瑞士）：施普林格国际出版；A. Banerjee 等人，免疫学前沿 11：26；AT Irving 等人，2020 年。细胞报告 33：108345。最后一部分关于方法，介绍了体外、体内和基于现场的病毒监测方法，完善了对蝙蝠传播病毒的进化和生态学的广泛调查。尽管这本书对蝙蝠生物学进行了很好的综合，对（一些）蝙蝠传播病毒进行了可靠的总结，并对一系列方法进行了仔细的调查，但不幸的是，这本书对于大多数潜在读者来说基本上是无法理解的。由于印刷版或电子版的价格较高，只有资源非常充足的图书馆才能负担得起。寻求对该主题的简要介绍的学生、发展中国家的科学家或图书馆预算缩减的发达国家的科学家将不得不转向个别文章，其中一些是开放获取的（例如，Banerjee 等人，2020）。尽管开放获取出版对许多作者来说成本太高，但也有可供所有人访问的编辑卷的成功例子（例如，CC Voigt 和 T.
Review of Animal Biosciences 6: 23–46; DJ Becker et al. 2019. Biology Letters 15: 20190423). Three chapters, on innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and traits that may make bats special viral hosts provide a good introduction to the rapidly growing—but still nascent—field of bat host biology (eg, ML Baker and T. Schountz. 2018. Mammalia: Chiroptera: immunology in bats. Pages 839–862 in Advances in Comparative Immunology, edited by EL Cooper. Cham (Switzerland): Springer International Publishing; A. Banerjee et al. 2020. Frontiers in Immunology 11: 26; AT Irving et al. 2020. Cell Reports 33: 108345). A final section, on methods, presents in vitro, in vivo, and field-based methods for viral surveillance, rounding off this wide-ranging survey of the evolution and ecology of bat-borne viruses.Although the book provides good syntheses on bat biology, solid summaries of (some) bat-borne viruses, and careful surveys of a range of methods, this volume will unfortunately be largely inaccessible to most of its potential audience. Due to its high price for the print or electronic version, only very wellresourced libraries will be able to afford it. Students seeking brief introductions to the subject, scientists in developing countries, or those in developed countries with shrinking library budgets will have to instead turn to individual articles, some of which are open access (eg, Banerjee et al. 2020). Although open access publishing is too costly for many authors, there are successful examples of edited volumes accessible to all (eg, CC Voigt and T.
