  "summary": "Bat-associated viruses consistently spill over from bats into humans and other animals. Many bat-associated viruses, including Marburg virus and Nipah virus, cause severe disease in humans but their presentation is subclinical in bats. Advancements in tools and resources to study bat innate antiviral immune responses, including the type I IFN (IFN-I) pathway, are needed to evaluate the mechanisms…",
