Maternal antibody and the maintenance of a lyssavirus in populations of seasonally breeding African bats.

Maternal antibody and the maintenance of a lyssavirus in populations of seasonally breeding African bats.

Pathogens causing acute disease and death or lasting immunity require specific spatial or temporal processes to persist in populations. Host traits, such as maternally-derived antibody (MDA) and seasonal birthing affect infection maintenance within populations. Our study objective is to understand h...
