The proximity to the garden for human settlements increases the concerns at the risk of zoonotic emissions. Researchers emphasize the importance of monitoring the population because of their ability to disrupt the virus that is able to cross people. Although none of the recently recognized viruses are confirmed to be dangerous to humans, their genetic equality highlights the familiar human's acted virus. The study asks for more extensive research in the housing pattern and the virus transfer pattern of the bat, especially as human activities occur rapidly in the wildlife areas. It underlines the widespread danger caused by wildlife -related diseases of the world of discovery.
