\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit, My name is Raina Plowright and I am an Assistant Professor of
Epidemiology at Montana State University. I use field, lab and modeling
approaches to understand how pathogens persist in wildlife populations
(especially bats) and spill over to humans. And my name is Olivier
Restif and I'm a Lecturer in Epidemiology at the University of
Cambridge. I use mathematical models to track the spread of microbes
within their hosts and across populations. In particular, I'm trying to
find out how the ecology of African bats may contribute to their ability
to spread viruses. We recently published a paper titled ``Transmission
or within-host processes driving pulses of infection in reservoir
hosts'' in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases. We examine the dynamics of
emerging bat infections within their reservoir host populations. We
argue that understanding the mechanisms that drive pulses of excretion
of viruses such as Hendra, Nipah, Ebola and Marburg viruses, is
essential to predict or manage spillover risk. We outline an ambitious
multidisciplinary research agenda that would allow better management or
even prevention of spillover. We will be answering your questions at 1pm
ET (10 am PT) -- Ask Us Anything! You can follow Raina on Twitter at
@rainamontana and Olivier on @BugsWormsNBats.%
