Summary / Abstract In recent years, several bat-borne zoonotic diseases have emerged that cause substantial morbidity and mortality in humans. Many of these are caused by viruses that require the highest biosafety containment, including the ebolaviruses, Marburg virus, and Hendra and Nipah viruses. Other high containment pathogens that are bat-borne include SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and rabies virus, and two unusual bat-specific influenza viruses, H17N10 and H18N11 were recently discovered. To date, more than 200 viruses have been isolated from, or detected in, bats. Considering that about 1200 species of bats have been identified, they are likely underappreciated as sources of infectious diseases. Moreover, bats are also afflicted by infectious diseases, including rabies, Lloviu filovirus, Tacaribe virus and the fungus Geomyces destructans that causes white nose syndrome that has killed more than 5 million bats in North America. Despite the importance of bats as reservoirs of infectious agents, little is known about their biology or immunology, which presents a significant obstacle for understanding the ecology and spillover risks of infectious agents hosted by bats. The 3rd Bat- borne Infectious Diseases Symposium will provide an interactive forum for biomedical scientists, physicians, veterinarians and bat biologists to share research and to foster collaborations to study infectious diseases of bats. Several internationally-renowned scientists have agreed to present at the meeting, which should facilitate greater interest among the infectious disease community.

总结/摘要 近年来，出现了几种蝙蝠传播的人畜共患病， 人类的死亡率。其中许多是由需要最高生物安全控制的病毒引起的， 包括埃博拉病毒、马尔堡病毒、亨德拉病毒和尼帕病毒。其他高防护性病原体 包括SARS-CoV、MERS-CoV和狂犬病病毒，以及两种不常见的蝙蝠特异性流感 H17 N10和H18 N11病毒是最近发现的。到目前为止，已经分离出200多种病毒 或者在蝙蝠体内检测到的考虑到已识别出约1200种蝙蝠，它们很可能 被低估为传染病的源头此外，蝙蝠还受到传染病的折磨， 包括狂犬病、Lloviu丝状病毒、Tacaribe病毒和导致白色鼻子的真菌Geomycesdestructans 这种综合症已经在北美杀死了500多万只蝙蝠。尽管蝙蝠作为 作为传染性病原体的储存库，对其生物学或免疫学知之甚少， 这是理解蝙蝠宿主的传染性病原体的生态和溢出风险的障碍。第三个蝙蝠-- 传染病研讨会将为生物医学科学家，医生， 兽医和蝙蝠生物学家分享研究，促进合作，研究传染病， 蝙蝠几位国际知名科学家已同意出席会议，这将有助于 引起了传染病界的更大兴趣。
