Diversity, Transmission, and Cophylogeny of Ledanteviruses (<i>Rhabdoviridae</i>: <i>Ledantevirus</i>) and Nycteribiid Bat Flies Parasitizing Angolan Soft-Furred Fruit Bats in Bundibugyo District, Uganda

Diversity, Transmission, and Cophylogeny of Ledanteviruses (<i>Rhabdoviridae</i>: <i>Ledantevirus</i>) and Nycteribiid Bat Flies Parasitizing Angolan Soft-Furred Fruit Bats in Bundibugyo District, Uganda

Obligate hematophagous ectoparasitic flies of the superfamily Hippoboscoidea are distributed worldwide, but their role as vectors and reservoirs of viruses remains understudied. We examined hippoboscoid bat flies (family Nycteribiidae) parasitizing Angolan soft-furred fruit bats (<i>Lissonycte...
