Vampirfledermäuse in Mexiko ernähren sich möglicherweise von CWD-positiven Hirschen, verbreiten Krankheiten und stellen eine Gefahr für den Artenwechsel dar

Christ that’s terrifying. Though I guess that depends on its virulence. Even if it crosses species easily, it might not spread through the bat population quickly. Maybe their size would make it kill them faster than it spreads.

Edit/also: I guess the fact that they fly could also reduce infection. If they can’t fly they can’t eat, and might not survive long enough to infect many.
