Project 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 novel 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 agents, 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 of infectious agents hosted by bats. The 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.

项目总结/摘要 近年来，出现了几种蝙蝠传播的人畜共患病， 和死亡率之间的关系。其中许多是由需要最高生物安全性的病毒引起的 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 由蝙蝠传播的遏制病原体包括SARS-CoV、MERS-CoV和狂犬病病毒， 最近发现了新的蝙蝠特异性流感病毒H17 N10和H18 N11。迄今为止，更多 从蝙蝠身上分离出或检测出的病毒超过200种。考虑到大约1200种 蝙蝠的数量已经被确定，它们作为传染病的来源可能被低估了。 此外，蝙蝠也受到传染病的折磨，包括狂犬病，Lloviu丝状病毒，Tacaribe 这种病毒和真菌会导致白色鼻子综合症， 超过500万只蝙蝠。尽管蝙蝠作为传染性疾病的重要储存者 代理，很少有人知道他们的生物学或免疫学，这提出了一个重大障碍， 了解蝙蝠寄生的传染性病原体的生态学。蝙蝠传播的传染病 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成果，促进合作，研究蝙蝠的传染病。 几位国际知名科学家已同意出席会议，会议将 促进传染病界的更大兴趣。
