7.66 Podcasts: Batty Immune Systems by MIT Biology published on 2022-06-09T00:09:39Z This podcast was a student project for the class Molecular Basis of Infectious Disease (7.66). Hannah K. Margolis, Keerthana Chetlapalli, and Julia Ramseyer discuss what bats — the scapegoats of the Covid-19 pandemic — can teach us about viral infections. In the age of Covid-19, many of us view bats as nothing more than dangerous, flying disease carriers. While it is true that many modern pandemics, including SARS, MERS, Ebola — and now Covid-19 — are spread by bats, the way bats carry different pathogens without getting sick might provide key insights into how we can boost our own immune systems and prevent pandemics in the future.
