An unprecedented rate of emergence and re-emergence of infectious disease has been enabled via transport of organisms, environmental degradation, and by other factors that compromise ecological stability, including climate change. In Western North America, population-threatening diseases are occurring in fish and wildlife at an increasing rate, presenting significant conservation challenges. To ensure proactive conservation of wildlife populations, there is a need for cross- discipline sharing of information on current disease issues by governments, communities, scientists, wildlife managers, the agriculture industries, public health, and stakeholders from all sides. This conference provided an opportunity for improved dialogue among experts: First Nations, veterinarians, academics, epidemiologists, wildlife biologists, stakeholders, managers, stewardship groups, and the public.

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Rabies Virus Variants in Big Brown Bat Populations Across Canada: Footprints of an Emerging Zoonosis
    Molecular Ecology (2010) 19, 2120–2136 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04630.x Spatial and temporal dynamics of rabies virus variants in big brown bat populations across Canada: footprints of an emerging zoonosis SUSAN A. NADIN-DAVIS,* YUQIN FENG,* DELPHINE MOUSSE,† ALEXANDER I. WANDELER* and STE´ PHANE ARIS-BROSOU†‡ *Centre of Expertise for Rabies, Ottawa Laboratory (Fallowfield), Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, †Department of Biology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, ‡Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Abstract Phylogenetic analysis of a collection of rabies viruses that currently circulate in Canadian big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) identified five distinct lineages which have emerged from a common ancestor that existed over 400 years ago. Four of these lineages are regionally restricted in their range while the fifth lineage, comprising two-thirds of all specimens, has emerged in recent times and exhibits a recent demographic expansion with rapid spread across the Canadian range of its host. Four of these viral lineages are shown to circulate in the US. To explore the role of the big brown bat host in dissemination of these viral variants, the population structure of this species was explored using both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear microsatellite markers. These data suggest the existence of three subpopulations distributed in British Columbia, mid- western Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) and eastern Canada (Quebec and Ontario), respectively. We suggest that these three bat subpopulations may differ by their level of female phylopatry, which in turn affects the spread of rabies viruses. We discuss how this bat population structure has affected the historical spread of rabies virus variants across the country and the potential impact of these events on public health concerns regarding rabies.

  • A Persistently Infecting Coronavirus in Hibernating Myotis Lucifugus, the North American Little Brown Bat
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Subudhi et al., Journal of General Virology 2017;98:2297–2309 DOI 10.1099/jgv.0.000898 A persistently infecting coronavirus in hibernating Myotis lucifugus, the North American little brown bat Sonu Subudhi,1 Noreen Rapin,1 Trent K. Bollinger,2 Janet E. Hill,1 Michael E. Donaldson,3 Christina M. Davy,3 Lisa Warnecke,4 James M. Turner,4 Christopher J. Kyle,3 Craig K. R. Willis4 and Vikram Misra1,* Abstract Bats are important reservoir hosts for emerging viruses, including coronaviruses that cause diseases in people. Although there have been several studies on the pathogenesis of coronaviruses in humans and surrogate animals, there is little information on the interactions of these viruses with their natural bat hosts. We detected a coronavirus in the intestines of 53/174 hibernating little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus), as well as in the lungs of some of these individuals. Interestingly, the presence of the virus was not accompanied by overt inflammation. Viral RNA amplified from little brown bats in this study appeared to be from two distinct clades. The sequences in clade 1 were very similar to the archived sequence derived from little brown bats and the sequences from clade 2 were more closely related to the archived sequence from big brown bats. This suggests that two closely related coronaviruses may circulate in little brown bats. Sequence variation among coronavirus detected from individual bats suggested that infection occurred prior to hibernation, and that the virus persisted for up to 4 months of hibernation in the laboratory. Based on the sequence of its genome, the coronavirus was placed in the Alphacoronavirus genus, along with some human coronaviruses, bat viruses and the porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus.

  • Biological Diversity in the Patent System
    Biological Diversity in the Patent System Paul Oldham1,2*, Stephen Hall1,3, Oscar Forero1,4 1 ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen), Lancaster University, Lancaster, United Kingdom, 2 Institute of Advanced Studies, United Nations University, Yokohama, Japan, 3 One World Analytics, Lancaster, United Kingdom, 4 Centre for Development, Environment and Policy, SOAS, University of London, London, United Kingdom Abstract Biological diversity in the patent system is an enduring focus of controversy but empirical analysis of the presence of biodiversity in the patent system has been limited. To address this problem we text mined 11 million patent documents for 6 million Latin species names from the Global Names Index (GNI) established by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Encyclopedia of Life (EOL). We identified 76,274 full Latin species names from 23,882 genera in 767,955 patent documents. 25,595 species appeared in the claims section of 136,880 patent documents. This reveals that human innovative activity involving biodiversity in the patent system focuses on approximately 4% of taxonomically described species and between 0.8–1% of predicted global species. In this article we identify the major features of the patent landscape for biological diversity by focusing on key areas including pharmaceuticals, neglected diseases, traditional medicines, genetic engineering, foods, biocides, marine genetic resources and Antarctica. We conclude that the narrow focus of human innovative activity and ownership of genetic resources is unlikely to be in the long term interest of humanity. We argue that a broader spectrum of biodiversity needs to be opened up to research and development based on the principles of equitable benefit-sharing, respect for the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, human rights and ethics.

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).

  • Using Trace Elements to Identify the Geographic Origin of Migratory Bats
    Using trace elements to identify the geographic origin of migratory bats Jamin G. Wieringa1,2, Juliet Nagel3, David M. Nelson3, Bryan C. Carstens1 and H. Lisle Gibbs1,2 1 Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, United States of America 2 Ohio Biodiversity Conservation Partnership, Columbus, OH, United States of America 3 University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Appalachian Lab, Frostburg, MD, United States of America ABSTRACT The expansion of the wind energy industry has had benefits in terms of increased renewable energy production but has also led to increased mortality of migratory bats due to interactions with wind turbines. A key question that could guide bat-related management activities is identifying the geographic origin of bats killed at wind-energy facilities. Generating this information requires developing new methods for identifying the geographic sources of individual bats. Here we explore the viability of assigning geographic origin using trace element analyses of fur to infer the summer molting location of eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis). Our approach is based on the idea that the concentration of trace elements in bat fur is related through the food chain to the amount of trace elements present in the soil, which varies across large geographic scales. Specifically, we used inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry to determine the concentration of fourteen trace elements in fur of 126 known-origin eastern red bats to generate a basemap for assignment throughout the range of this species in eastern North America. We then compared this map to publicly available soil trace element concentrations for the U.S.
