Contrasting patterns in mammal-bacteria coevolution: bartonella and leptospira in bats and rodents.

<h4>Background</h4>Emerging bacterial zoonoses in bats and rodents remain relatively understudied. We conduct the first comparative host-pathogen coevolutionary analyses of bacterial pathogens in these hosts, using Bartonella spp. and Leptospira spp. as a model.<h4>Methodology/prin...
