I haven't seen that, but even if that is the case, what kind of animal? Fruit bats don't typically bite human beings. Even if fruit bats are the only host, was the virus transmitted directly (by a bite, feces, etc) or through an intermediate animal host? Not sure we'll ever know with certainty.
But the point is, it was transmitted from animal to human. It’s endemic in animal species.
If it were to become endemic in animal species in this country (because we have wild bats, wild pigs and wild ungulates as well) that would be a game changer.
Hunting season would cease. And most of the farm fields would become ‘interesting’ as there are a LOT of wild pigs in those. And a big concern would be transmissibility to animals we DO butcher and consume. Like cows, pigs, and sheep. Not to mention dogs.
