 The genome of "Eonycteris spelaea" was recently sequenced using PacBio long-read sequencing..As a small, frugivorous, specialist nectar-feeding bat with good flight potential and that can breed 1-2 times a year, it is an ideal species as an animal model for bats.Recent evidence has shown this species can carry multiple viruses such as filoviruses, coronaviruses, astrovirus, picornavirus, lyssavirus, pteropine orthoreovirus and flavivirus, all without obvious signs of disease.Phil Alexander
