Fig. 3. Diagram of primary and secondary drivers and management of bat-associated EIDs.
Fig. 4. Possible routes of disease transmission between bats, peridomestic/domestic animals, and humans. Thick arrows represent the most significant pathways for bat-associated EIDs. Thin arrows represent pathways about which less known or that are less common (as in the case of transmission of pathogens directly from bats to humans).
