- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $452,475 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Colorado State University (CSU) to study adaptive immune responses in bats. The project aims to determine the effector functions of helper and cytotoxic T cells in response to bat influenza A and coronavirus infections, and evaluate the impacts of vaccination and T cell depletion on infection control. CSU will use a captive...
- This $451,836 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research grant program (CFDA 93.855), to The Washington University in Missouri. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a structural and mechanistic study of the bat NLRP6 inflammasome and its role in detecting RNA viruses, such as Ebola, Nipah, Hendra, and SARS-CoV, which bats can host without developing significant disease symptoms. The research...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $146,125 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Ghana to assess mechanisms for the persistence of RNA viruses in bat populations. The 5-year project, running from September 2025 to August 2030, aims to study virus prevalence, shedding, and spillover risk in captive and wild colonies of the straw-colored fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) in Ghana. The...
