Výzkumu netopýrů je v posledních letech věnována stále větší pozornost a výsledkem jsou detekce virů podobných těm, které vyvolávají závažná infekční onemocnění jak u lidí, tak u dalších savců. Schopnost letu u netopýrů zřejmě mimo další atypické vlastnosti ovlivnila v průběhu evoluce jejich antivirovou imunitní odpověď. Tito létající savci dokáží kontrolovat propagaci viru a limitovat sebepoškozující zánětlivé procesy. Studium těchto vlastností je velmi důležité pro porozumění a možnou predikci šíření virů do nových hostitelů.

Keywords: Netopýři; SARS-CoV-2; šíření; infekční nemoci; virová onemocnění

More attention has been paid to bat research in recent years, resulting in the detection of viruses similar to those that cause serious infectious diseases in both humans and other mammals. The ability to fly, among other atypical characteristics, probably influenced their antiviral immune response during evolution. They can control the propagation of the virus and limit self-damaging inflammatory processes. The study of these properties is very important for understanding and possible prediction of virus jump to new hosts.

Keywords: Bats; SARS-CoV-2; spillover; infectious diseases; viral diseases
