Bat Flies of the Family <i>Streblidae</i> (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) Host Relatives of Medically and Agriculturally Important “Bat-Associated” Viruses
Bat flies (Hippoboscoidea: <i>Nycteribiidae</i> and <i>Streblidae</i>) are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of bats. We collected streblid bat flies from the New World (México) and the Old World (Uganda), and used metagenomics to identify their viruses. In México, we foun...
