    Snippet: Bats are major reservoirs for viral zoonotic pathogens. Virus infections that are acute and highly aggressive in humans can be persistent and avirulent in bats (Calisher et al., 2006) . An important contributor of virus tolerance by bats is thought to be the antiviral type I interferon (IFN-a/b) system (Dobson, 2005) . Indeed, in some bats the IFN system has peculiar features and is under strong positive selection (De La Cruz-Rivera et al., 2018;.....
    Document: Bats are major reservoirs for viral zoonotic pathogens. Virus infections that are acute and highly aggressive in humans can be persistent and avirulent in bats (Calisher et al., 2006) . An important contributor of virus tolerance by bats is thought to be the antiviral type I interferon (IFN-a/b) system (Dobson, 2005) . Indeed, in some bats the IFN system has peculiar features and is under strong positive selection (De La Cruz-Rivera et al., 2018; Pavlovich et al., 2018; Yan, 2015; Zhang et al., 2013; Zhou et al., 2016) . Bats may thus possess a fortified IFN system that suppresses viruses down to levels of persistence (Dobson, 2005; Pavlovich et al., 2018; Wynne and Wang, 2013; Zhang et al., 2013) .
