| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we aimed to do risk analysis for emerging infectious diseases mediated by flying foxes (megabats). We performed virological studies on flying foxes to detect emerging viruses (and/or viral genomes) from megabats. Also, ecological behaviors of megabats were investigated in the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. Considering Hendra virus in Australia, the traffic of megabats between Japan and Philippines were studied. The space from Okinawa to Batanes Islands, Philippines, via Taiwan seemed to be semi-enclosed for megabats. In addition, the development of central Mindanao appeared to disturb megabats to fly over Mindanao Island from Japanese side to Papua, and vice versa. Similar to this, megabats in western Java island also seemed to be present in semi-enclosed space made by biological obstacles, that is, cities and/or high mountains.
