Human-Bat Relationships in Southwestern Nigerian Communities

Temidayo Esther Adeyanju et al.

Summary: Bat species and populations worldwide are declining due to various human activities, driven by negative attitudes, perceptions, and lack of knowledge about these animals. Understanding human-bat interactions is crucial for designing effective conservation measures. A study in Nigeria revealed that individuals who perceived themselves as more vulnerable to diseases from bats had more negative perceptions and beliefs about bats. However, the perceived vulnerability did not correlate with destructive behaviors towards bats, with individuals with lower education levels intentionally killing more bats.

Dynamics of Antibodies to Ebolaviruses in an Eidolon helvum Bat Colony in Cameroon

Dowbiss Meta Djomsi et al.

Summary: The ecology of ebolaviruses and the role of bats in outbreaks are still not well understood. This study found that antibody levels increase in young bats, suggesting that seroconversion to Ebola or related viruses occurs in older juvenile and immature adult bats.

Pseudotyped Bat Coronavirus RaTG13 is efficiently neutralised by convalescent sera from SARS-CoV-2 infected patients

Diego Cantoni et al.

Summary: Bat coronavirus RaTG13, a close relative of SARS-CoV-2, can be more efficiently neutralized by antibodies from convalescent patients and vaccinated healthcare workers. RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins can tolerate multiple amino acid substitutions within their receptor binding domains without dramatically reducing neutralization. Introducing the 484K mutation into RaTG13 enhances its neutralization, contrary to its role in immune evasion in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

Application and comparison of lyophilisation protocols to enhance stable long-term storage of filovirus pseudotypes for use in antibody neutralisation tests

Martin Mayora Neto et al.

Summary: Filovirus pseudotype viruses can be successfully lyophilized and stored for long periods, retaining functionality for neutralization assays. Lyophilization under specific conditions allows transportation at room temperature.

Pre- and post-Ebola outbreak trends in wild meat trade in West Africa

Stephan M. Funk et al.

Summary: The study found that the Ebola outbreak led to a sharp decline in wild meat sales in Nigeria, especially for reptiles. However, after the Ebola epidemic, there was a recovery in the sales of certain animal groups, such as ungulates, rodents, and carnivores. Surveys showed significant differences in wild meat consumption and attitudes among rural versus urban areas and different age groups.

Exploiting Pan Influenza A and Pan Influenza B Pseudotype Libraries for Efficient Vaccine Antigen Selection

Joanne Marie M. Del Rosario et al.

Summary: A library of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) pseudotypes was developed for use in influenza neutralization assays, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity for detecting virus-specific neutralizing antibodies and assessing antibody functionality. These HA pseudotypes can serve as substitutes for wildtype viruses in experiments and are valuable for evaluating cross-subtype immune responses elicited by vaccines.

Cecilia Di Genova et al.

Summary: This protocol outlines a method for producing and testing high-titre viral pseudotype particles with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for neutralisation assays. Results show that these particles can be neutralised by convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies, and can be stored at various temperatures for distribution and application.

Summary: When evaluating anti-ebolavirus antibodies, the choice of target cell line can impact neutralisation assay results, and should not be solely based on permissiveness.
