Bats are linked to a growing number of EID but few studies have explored the factors of viral richness in bats. These may have implications for role of bats as potential reservoirs. We investigated the determinants of viral richness in 15 species of African bats (8 Pteropodidae and 7 microchiroptera) in Central and West Africa for which we provide new information on virus infection and bat phylogeny.

Monitoring climate change and habitat loss alone is insufficient if we are to understand the effects of these factors on complex biological communities. It is therefore important to identify bioindicator taxa that show measurable responses to climate change and habitat loss and that reflect wider-scale impacts on the biota of interest. We argue that bats have enormous potential as bioindi- cators: they show taxonomic stability, trends in their populations can be monitored, short- and long- term effects on populations can be measured and they are distributed widely around the globe. Because insectivorous bats occupy high trophic levels, they are sensitive to accumulations of pesti- cides and other toxins, and changes in their abundance may reflect changes in populations of arthro- pod prey species.

This study also investigated threats and suggested recommendations for implementing conservation measures for bat fauna in Mizoram. Methodology: The present study was carried out in different parts of Mizoram between January 2012 - October 2019. Bats were trapped by using mist nets and hoop nets. Diagnostic morphological characters of bat were used for species identification. Digital camera and video camera were also used for further identification and documentation of bats. Results: During January 2012 – December 2016, eighteen bat species were identified. Recently, from January 2017 - October 2019 insectivorous bat species, Scotomanes ornatus was first time documented in Serchhip District (23.3 ºN 92.83 ºE), Mizoram. In total nineteen bat species were identified in this study, out of which ten species were first time recorded and nine species were rediscovered from the previous documentation. From the previous and present data, total of thirty-six bat Study the diversity of bat fauna and prepared checklist in species were recorded in Mizoram- nine Mizoram.
