Project Summary This proposal outlines request to establish the Bat Resource Center for the Study of Zoonotic Diseases at Colorado State University. The Bat Resource Center is a $7.99M facility located adjacent to the Center for Vectorborne Disease and the Rocky Mountain Regional Biocontainment Laboratory. It is uniquely designed to be a vivarium with the necessary environmental and biosafety controls to successfully breed and maintain bats for use as animal models. This important animal model is critical to our understanding of viral pathogenesis and disease transmission as bats have been shown to be a reservoir for a number of human pathogens including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The Bat Resource Center will greatly enhance our abilities to study these agents and will serve as a national resource for others using bat models.

项目概要 该提案概述了在以下地址建立人畜共患疾病研究蝙蝠资源中心的请求： 科罗拉多州立大学。蝙蝠资源中心是一座耗资 799 万美元的设施，毗邻该中心 媒介传播疾病和落基山地区生物防护实验室。它是独一无二的 设计为具有成功繁殖所需的环境和生物安全控制的动物园 并饲养蝙蝠作为动物模型。这个重要的动物模型对于我们的理解至关重要 病毒发病机制和疾病传播，因为蝙蝠已被证明是许多病毒的宿主 人类病原体，包括最近的 COVID-19 大流行。蝙蝠资源中心将极大地 增强我们研究这些药物的能力，并将作为其他使用蝙蝠的国家资源 模型。
