Introduction：
We are dedicated to epidemiological investigation, immune regulation and developmental biological research to serve the wildlife conservation and captive breeding. We are responsible for more than 20 provincial and ministerial projects on the pathogen investigation and developmental biological research. In recent years, more than 10 projects have been finished, including“ Innovation Team of Surveillance and Control of Pathogens in Special Economic Animals”, “ The Genetic Diversity and Early Warning of Zoonotic Pathogens in Bats Using High-throughput Sequencing”, “The Genetic Diversity and Molecular Comparative Analysis Between The Brown Fruit Bats and Greater Short-nosed Fruit Bats”.
