Michelle Flenniken, Plant Sciences & Plant Pathology– NSF CAREER Grant - Honey bee host-virus interactions: Investigating dsRNA mediated immune responses and virus specific determinants of transmission and pathogenesis

Raina Plowright,– NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems Grant We propose to examine the role of bats as vectors for the transmission of Hendra virus, which can be fatal to horses and humans, at multiple spatial scales across the Australian landscape. We will focus on three phenomena: changes in the moment of bats as forests are fragmented and converted to exurban development, the flow of virus and its transmission through bat populations as the diets and foraging patterns of bats change, and how the transmission of disease to livestock and humans can be mitigated by changes in human behavior.
