- Explore the relationship between viruses and their hosts, and find out how the evolutionary adaptations of bats keep them safe from viruses.
--
Consider a bat that is infected with several deadly viruses, including ones that cause rabies, SARS, and Ebola. While this diagnosis would be lethal for other mammals, the winged wonder is totally unfazed, and may even spend the next 30 years living as if this were totally normal- because for bats, it is. So what’s protecting bats from these dangerous infections? Arinjay Banerjee investigates.

I get why vampires are supposed to be functionally immortal now.
Smart
Yeah, I was going to say that the fact that bat telomeres shorten at a slower rate than humans, *and* bats are resistant to the effects of many diseases makes the vampire myths even more intriguing.
@@LordBrittish smart too
**makes joke about {CURRENT WORLD EVENT}**
My thoughts EXACTLY! 😂
Bat: gets a deadly viruse
Bat's immune system: Oh no, anyway
Virus: Understandable, have a nice day.

Ah yes, the deadly virusè
Umm chile anyway s
So bats cannot make the excuse "I'm sick" when they skipped bat school.

It’s good to know that humans don’t get plant viruses, and bees don’t get the flu.

@ERA CASTE A question of a lifetime, I see. Yet, you won't get an answer
@ERA CASTE If we follow the video then yes they will get infected and carry the disease, But with such a high immunity they won't feel the symptoms while they can still transmit.
Not really
Bat: gets a deadly viruse
Bat's immune system: it is what it is.

This is definitely my favorite art style Ted ED has used
I have always loved bats. I don't think they're scary at all! I actually think they're adorable.
Are you covid-19?

yas they do be cute tho wOWOw
Are u Ebola?
You are my friend now. You can’t say no.
Moral of the story: Don't eat bats
Too late
China always ate them!
@@tellydianadayondon6534 That is not true, it wasn't until recent times that it was started.
Is Corona time.
@@peppapaul they even eat scorpions, cockroaches and so on so forth... so, it's really not shocking to know they eat everything else.
Obsessed with how cute the animation is 😭
Yep :3
Okay
And the memes too! This animation literally gave us everything we could ask for
That’s the first thing I thought, just from the thumbnail.
Definitely not disappointed.
Cute in a animation.
But. Not cute in real life.
Who animated this, I want to commission them to draw more cute bats :3
Virus: *Slaps bat on the right cheek
Bat immune system: Let him have the left too
Nice!
For some reason I am reminded of Sanjay Dutt's dialogue from this comment 😂✌
Normie
The Power of Positive Thinking:
Bats: *Everything will be fine*
Immune System: OK, I won't attack.
Reality: *Yip, you're fine*
Virus: Imma end this whole man’s career
Wow, I seriously wasn't expecting that much likes!
Me (dreamingly): *If only likes means subs..*
@platonik filofOz OMG! It actually means subs! I got 14 subs since this comment, and I'm pretty sure it's because of this comment. I don't get that much subs a day. LOL!
While this is really interesting, it didn't explain why this leads to bats being fine. Why wouldn't the virus just immediately proliferate and consume the bat if there's no immune response? It's not like they're intelligent and know they need to keep the host alive. They just multiply.
@@mobilemarshall In the video, they talk say that the bacteria try to make the organism destroy itself. However, bats can stop this by "smarter" immune systems. Therefore, stopping the bacteria from killing them.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how cute the baby bats look crossing the street?
Aww yes the animation is so cute
when?

This is so hillarious XD, because, seemingly by accident, vampires being associated with bats now even makes more sense to me then I already knew.
Deadly virus: Enters bat's body
Bat: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that
Bat immune system: Oh no! Anyway...
china:
“Bats are infected with several deadly virus”
Some people: LETS EAT IT
More like some people have limited access to food sources and have to take what they can get.

""White-nose syndrome has killed over 90% of northern long-eared, little brown and tri-colored bat populations in fewer than 10 years, according to a new study published in Conservation Biology. Researchers also noted declines in Indiana bat and big brown bat populations.""
omg thats horrible... how can we help?
@@tobilandsfried8083
- Donate to BATCON
- Provide homes for bats (Bat houses specifically approved by Merlin Tuttle)
- Do not enter caves in general or do not go into restricted caves
- If a cave is public, clean your gear before and after entering, as human interference not only disrupts their hibernation but also can track White nose syndrome into the colonies.
- Educate others!
WNS is very different than much of what is described in this video. it is a cold loving fungus that disrupts bats in hibernation. If their sleep is disrupted frequently they can die from starvation/energy depletion.
I hope this helps! Look up BATCON for more info ❤️

Bats and viruses: Okay, mom!
Everything else: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Lolz, really underrated! You earned your 179th like!
E P I C
More accurately, bats and viruses have always been fighting, they just fought so much that a sort of temporary "truce" has emerged.
@@biomutarist6832 Not technically, no, More like a sudden natural force made by their own actions that temporary blocks their attackes, forcing them to be ''peaceful.''
@@sanukatharul1497 I heavily simplified what I said of course, since there is no truce in the sense that neither continued to evolve. I think your version is more or less the same as mine tbh.
*Bats don't get sick*
Let's eat bats so that we could get their ability to stay immune from viruses. What could go wrong?
ikr, its not like we are going to live in a chaotic world or jailed in our own house only because we are eating bats anyway, duh..
@@ranwilder2181 I thought it was already official bats were not the cause of *this recent event*, there was literally a laboratory under the market testing some virus modifications to study those virus... The study backfired basically.
@@el2746 it was gain of function research, the virus came from bats... my guess is that a janitor saw them throwing out bats (not knowing what they was actually doing in that lab) and decided to make a few extra bucks by selling the bats from the lab to the market right around the corner...
@@dunhillsupramk3 that's somewhat even worse xD
@@dunhillsupramk3 there is no proof to the gain of function research. The viruses that you spoke about do not have the ability to transmit to people. The Covid that we get has already had the ability to transmit to people. So, no gain in function. It doesn't mean that Covid could not be from the lab. Labs are known to play with multiple genetic modification with viruses for study.
Now if we could figure out a way to slow down the aging of our telomeres that would keep us living longer, until the inevitable cancer cells mutated until we eventually died...
Ironically one of the mutations that causes cancer has to do with telomeres lol
probably one of the cutest TED-Ed animations, plus there's the sweating button guy meme and the 'this is fine' meme as well
1:30 I love the virus take on the "Make a choice" and 2:47 "This is fine" memes
