To terms with what started from that economic and political crisis last year. bats are known to be super incubators for thousands of different viruses. since the covid19 pandemic, there 5 been growing interest in the flying mammals and the role they can play in so called zoonotic spillover events whereby diseases jump to humans. 0ur global health correspondent, naomi grimley, has been given special access to a scientific research project in ghana which aims to monitor bats. dusk is the witching hour at accra zoo. it s the best time for this group of scientists to test these bats for different viruses and even superbugs. what we try to test for resistant antimicrobials in the poo of the bats. so that s what we are trying to do. so the question is, is the bacteria in the poo resistant to antibiotics? exactly. that is the question. yeah! got it.

The bat droppings we saw earlier are tested here at this high security lab. it s all helping to expand knowledge about so called zoonotic diseases. so since covid, we have now, i mean, we have kind of a broader understanding about viruses in terms of how they cause infections, how they manifest on humans and all that. so, yes, recently we started having other outbreaks i mentioned marburg outbreak in ghana, we had lassa. before that we had yellow fever. so some of these, the systems that were set in place helped us to kind of go out there, do the investigations and stop the spread. there s still so much we don t know about bats and their immune systems, but research into them is being turbo charged around the world. and here in ghana, they re doing their bit. naomi grimley, bbc news.
