Science Daily/Kansas State University, 10/30/14. "Bat influenza viruses unlikely to pose a threat to human health."
"Bats seen at Halloween this year may not be quite as scary as they appear
-- at least when it comes to the spread of specific viruses. A research
project conducted in part by a team of researchers in the College of
Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University suggests that influenza
viruses carried by bats pose a low risk to humans.
.... 'While our data suggest that the bat influenza viruses are authentic
viruses and provide new insights into the evolution and basic biology of
influenza viruses, the results also indicate that they pose little, if
any, pandemic threat to humans,' Ma said." Read more.
