Molecular detection of vector-borne pathogens from bats in Lithuania
Bats (Chiroptera) are distributed worldwide and the second largest order of mammals (next to rodents) recognized as reservoirs or carriers of numerous species of viruses, bacteria and protozoan parasites, some of them with zoonotic potential to infect other animals or humans. They also host a range...
