Manahoana from Madagascar! I am in the field with the Brook Lab and collaborators from the University of Antananarivo sampling Madagascar's three fruit bats for viruses shed in feces, urine, saliva, and blood as part of a longitudinal study. Before I depart in about a month, we will also be returning to the Manombo Special Reserve in southeastern Madagascar—where we were just scouting—to sample bats (insectivorous species too!) in the surrounding region as part of a large collaborative One Health project. It has been wonderful to be out exploring a new study system with Ekipa Fanihy (Malagasy for "Team Fruit Bat")!
