Bats are host to a number of viruses that have spilled over to infect humans, domestic animals, and other wildlife. As the only flying mammal, bats occupy a unique ecological niche and have the potential to carry unknown viruses that present a substantial risk for zoonotic transmission. The availability of advanced molecular tools such as next-generation sequencing and generic viral taxa-group PCRs has made it possible to detect a wide range of viruses in bats, though little is known of the biology of these detections. With the ever-expanding list of viruses detected in bats comes the challenge of determining how best to prioritize studies of their virology, ecology, and epidemiology to best understand their origin and risk of zoonotic transmission.
