abstract
- Bats serve as hosts of viruses that can cause disease in humans. In this issue of Immunity, Gamage et al. characterize the immune cell repertoire in Eonycteris spelaea bat lung tissue using single-cell transcriptomics, providing insight into the in vivo immune response to infection with a Pteropine orthoreovirus (PRV3M) and establishing a paradigm for future comparative immunology studies.
