The importance of bats as natural hosts for several important viral zoonoses, including Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, and rabies viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV), has been established; however, the large viral population diversity (virome) of bats has been partially deter- mined for only a few of the ϳ1,200 bat species. To assess the virome of North American bats, we collected fecal, oral, urine, and tissue samples from individual bats captured at an abandoned railroad tunnel in Maryland that is cohabitated by 7 to 10 different bat species. Here, we present preliminary characterization of the virome of three common North American bat species, including big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus), tricolored bats (Perimyotis subflavus), and little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus). -

They are aware of the space surrounding them. They are capable of self and non-self recognition and can take defined actions to mitigate and control diverse environmental stimuli. Ancient sages, who lived in an environment of trees and mountains perceived this truth of plants, precisely choose a few among them for their meditation, enlightenment and also actively promoted conservation of them. N,N-DMT is a psychoactive drug related with mysticism is present in both plants and humans. The study of plants associated with faith and tradition is known as Divine Botany. Lord Buddha was under Saraca asoca (Roxb.) De Wilde, Ficus religiosa (L.) and Shorea robusta (Gaertn.f.) during birth, enlightenment and liberation respectively. ‘Kshudraka Nikaya’ is a collection of minor Buddhist discourses which contains a book by name Buddhavamsha. It was translated into English as ‘The Great Chronicle of Buddhas’ by Ven. Bhadanta Vicittasarabhivamsa in 1992. Trees of enlightenment were termed as Wisdom trees. ‘The Great Chronicle of Buddhas’ listed wisdom trees of 25 past Buddha’s and future Maitreya Buddha. Wisdom trees of Tanhankara Buddha, Medhankara Buddha and Sharanamkara Buddha Bhagavan were not quoted in Buddhavamsha. -

Agatis, Kampus IPB Dramaga, Bogor 16680, Indonesia *Corresponding authors: Srihadi Agungpriyono ([email protected]) Abstract Antioxidants and free radicals have long been known to be the main factors in the occurrence of degenerative diseases. Various studies related to antioxidants and free radicals which have implications for oxidative stress have increased in the last decade. Knowledge of stress oxidative physiology in various animals help in understanding the pathophysiology of diseases associated with oxidative stress. Bats are claimed to be the best known animals in term of survival compared to other mammals. Bats are reported to produce low reactive oxygen species (ROS) but high endogenous antioxidants that can prevent oxidative stress. Bats high defense against oxidative stress has implications for their extreme longevity, the role as a reservoir of viruses, and the potential as experimental animals. Key words: aging, animal model, antioxidant, comparative physiology, free radical Copyright © 2019 JRVI. All rights reserved. Introduction Oxidative stress has been a scourge for the health world for more than three decades (Sies, 2015). Research on oxidative stress status related to disease pathogenesis is increasing every year.
