Why Do Bats Carry So Many Dangerous Diseases?

Is it because they are flying mammals?

(Asking because cant watch the video now..)

In the sense, we are more prone to infection via mammals.. and flying mammals obviously are more dangerous to spread/pass on the virus.... 😇

Not because of being flying mammals. Video has too much scientific details to write. At highlevel.

The way they convert food into energy (mitochondria into over dry, there are special compartments in the cells into body). They need high enery because thye fly by flapping their wings (no gliding)-> this leads to something called oxidative stress->DNA Damage - > They evolved to repair their DNA and they also turbo charge mechanism that prevents the danamed cell replication (that's why they dont get cancer as well). DNA damage can be sign of viral infection and host number of viruses. (But they adapted and have good immune system and study of their inflamation system will help humans to find more solutions). And their habitat staying close together ...virus in bat infects into other easily via saliva and etc.

lol..

Not talking them as a food, as in food they are cooked and most of the germs die. Looking at them as carriers.

All of them are not very risky because:

Fish are limited to water... ruled out.

In todays world, Chicken/Goats/Cows/buffallos also don't travel much.. esp in these days only in side the cages in the farms., and contact with very very few humans possible..

But look at mammals like rats, bats etc.. they travel so much, go to dirty places, eat all junk everywhere.. and have more probability of spreading germs via contact / via excretions...

Thank you for your time Sir !

Bats have crazy immune system  way more than us

million timesmore. If we get infection from bats we can’t fight the bacteria or virus 

very simple explanation
