bats are unable to damp down immune response to viruses
the evolution of flight in bats seem to have selected for a unique set of antiviral immune responses that control virus propagation, while limiting self-damaging inflammatory responses.", "bats have evolved novel mechanisms to limit virus-induced pro-inflammatory responses while maintaining type i ifn responses to limit virus propagation (figure 1).", "bats suppress the pathological effects of excessive virus-induced inflammation while bats are well prepared to control viral infections, they also have mechanisms to avoid over-induction of inflammatory genes.", 


































"this suggests that many bats have a mechanism to suppress the expression of tnfα, thereby maintaining a balanced response to viral infection.")
