Title: Synchronized shift of oral, faecal and urinary microbiotas in bats and natural infection dynamics during seasonal reproduction

    Snippet: Based on a unique longitudinal sampling of multiple body habitats and a comparative approach on two bat species, we investigated the within-colony dynamics of both microbiota and viral/bacterial shedding during the seasonal reproduction of bats. Our results demonstrated that seasonal reproduction is characterized by substantial changes of the microbiota and shedding patterns, which are mainly driven by sex, age and reproductive condition of femal.....
    Document: Based on a unique longitudinal sampling of multiple body habitats and a comparative approach on two bat species, we investigated the within-colony dynamics of both microbiota and viral/bacterial shedding during the seasonal reproduction of bats. Our results demonstrated that seasonal reproduction is characterized by substantial changes of the microbiota and shedding patterns, which are mainly driven by sex, age and reproductive condition of female bats. This study illustrates the complexity of host-microbiota-infection interactions in a significant group of mammals, which are also considered as important hosts of human pathogens with seasonal dynamics (e.g. Marburg and Hendra viruses). Our findings thus provide interesting evidence as to how pathogens may shift seasonally due to lifehistory events that may alter the microbiota and immune system of their hosts, which in turn could have important public health consequences.
