FAO has released a new publication manual on bats entitled ?Investigating the Role of Bats in Emerging Zoonoses:  Balancing Ecology, Conservation and Public Health Interest.?

The manual is directed at epidemiologists, wildlife officials, farmers, livestock veterinarians, zoologists or other professionals who may be coming in contact with bats through their work.  This may be of interest to those subscribed to the WildList.

Please find below a few links to more information including an article published by FAO, an article in the New Agriculturist, and the link to the bat manual itself.
