Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to collect bats in the Philippines and Taiwan for the epidemiological investigations on bacteria, viruses and protozoans which bats have, and to build up the basic data for making the correspondence strategy for the bat-derived infectious diseases in Japan possibly by climate change in the future.
As we had not experienced bat collection in Taiwan, we performed it for preliminary investigation in 2017. It turned out that both species and the number of bats which we could collect were limited in Taiwan, and we gave it up. We collected approximately 170 bats in the Philippines in January and June, 2019. Unfortunately, we could not complete the examination within the research period, but would like to report the results near future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新型コロナウイルス感染症のパンデミックによって明らかになったように、感染症は公衆衛生上の極めて重要な課題である。新型コロナウイルスもコウモリ関連ウイルスであることが示唆されているように、コウモリ由来感染症に関する理解を深めることは将来の公衆衛生対策上必須である。研究期間内にデータ解析を完了できなかったが、早急に成果をまとめ、発表したい。本研究の成果は、フィリピンは下より、将来のわが国の感染症対策に必ずや役立つものと確信する。
