Why Bats Carry Deadly Diseases
Переглядів 986,060
День томуBats have a bad reputation for carrying nasty diseases-and biology has a reason for this! While it's certainly not their fault, there is actually a lot we can learn from their unique immune systems. Join Stefan Chin for a new episode of SciShow all about these adorable and potentially dangerous critters!

@katcel16 4 роки тому
And something that drinks blood would likely have to have a supercharged immune system cause, ya know, blood borne diseases (presumably vampire bats have similarly super immune systems as other bats; granted, a lot of vampiric animals are arthropods, and arthropods don’t have as good of immune systems as vertebrates, but it seems like mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, lice etc. aren’t dying of disease very often, or at least not enough to limit reproduction because they’re sexually mature pretty quickly cause their lives are so short anyway, so I’m guessing that plays a part in why that doesn’t seem to matter too much to blood sucking arthropods...), and other predators, especially ones living in filthy conditions (like crocodiles; they pretty much NEVER have lethal infections, and even mild infections are super rare, their immune systems just annihilate pathogens) also have pretty good immune systems (or at least their saliva is antimicrobial to more of an extent than ours so that they can relatively safely eat raw, bloody meat). Also, not on the topic of immune systems, but another cool way to explain vampires’ abilities (immortality or at least drastically slowed aging (depending on the kind of vampire you’re going for in a story-undead or alive as it’s own species separate from humans) in particular, but also rapid healing) is that their cells are similar to cancer cells: they make a fuckton of telomerase (enzyme that lets your cell make telomeres, protective “caps” on chromosomes that get shorter and shorter each times cells divide which consequently leads to aging-cancer cells make a slot more telomerase, which keeps telomeres long despite all the cell divisions, and therefore makes cancer immortal. Seriously, canine venereal tumor disease is a *contagious cancer* in dogs (don’t worry; immunocompetent dogs can fight off the cancer in a few months and are then immune to it for life) that is at least 11,000 years old. Just the same tumor (albeit now it’s so old that there are genetic differences between tumors from dog populations in different parts of the world, but they all came from the same original tumor) being transplanted from canine to canine for over ten thousand years. Additionally, cancer cells reproduce FAST, so that could explain the quick healing that vampires have in most lore. Problem is cancer cells also need an exorbitant amount of energy, but vampire cells don’t have to be JUST like cancer cells (that wouldn’t really make sense, anyway), so you can ignore that part, haha. But yeah, this is actually something I’ve thought about for writing vampire stories (but I’m never gonna end up getting around to actually putting one on paper and finishing it d:), and something I'd really like to see someone play with, because how cancer cells work, but just tweaking it a bit (so that they can function properly as cells and not just take over everything and/or use up so much energy it’s impossible to keep up in a way that’s lethal), actually makes a really good explanation for how vampire physiology would be possible

Also, "Kurzgesagt - in a Nutshell" recently did a video about the cancer paradox of how massive animals like whales don't get cancer despite their enormormous cell count and extremely long lives.

I watched with glee while your kings and queens Fought over quarantines and economies. I shouted out "Who killed the dinosaurs?" When after all, it was a rock, mosquitoes and me. Let me please introduce myself, I'm a bat of renown and more. And I laid traps for health workers Who get killed before they find a cure. Pleased to meet you, hope you're one of my fans. But what's puzzlin' you is just the patagia of my hands. [Ultrasound solo] Pleased to meet you, want some Nova lox? Oh, and do you have any fruit for my cousin, Flying Fox? Just as every bird is a dinosaur, And all the humans apes, _Est quia caudae capitibus,_ just call me _Fledermaus,_ And I don't need no damn restraints! So if you meet me, have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste; Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll splash Corona in your face! Pleased to meet you, got any tasty bugs? I'm starvin', man, and I haven't eaten since I last fed on Doug (I am part Vampire Bat, don'chaknow.)

Bats are consumed in many cultures due to lack of money. It's the sad truth that many citizens in china cannot afford many types of more expensive meats, thus they resort to more exotic substitutes. Still though, you'd think we'd learn our lesson not to eat bats by now.

@X X Why bring the term white privilege into this discussion? That's the thing about culture and palate, taste is subjective, anyone is entitled to find something distasteful. Just because someone isn't enlightened with the ways of every culture doesn't make them privileged. "White privilege" has nothing to do with this, so don't you dare turn it into that kind of discussion
