Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology
How is Hendra virus maintaining transmission?
Bat antibody diversity figure
PLOS Biology 2024
Bats generate lower affinity but higher diversity antibody responses than those of mice, but pathogen-binding capacity increases if protein is restricted in their diet
Experimental infection models reveal surprising patterns in how bats make their antibodies.
