Declarations
:
: Samples consisted of feces from wild animals captured using nylon mist nets or a harp trap. Bats were kept briefly in cotton bags until fresh fecal samples were obtained. According to the European Directive regulating the protection of animals used for scientific purposes (2010/62/EU, Article 1), subsequently transposed into Spanish legislation (Royal Decree 53/213, 1 February, Article 2), procedures used in this study are not subject to the condition of animal experimentation and therefore do not require a IACUC approval document, but specifically a permit from the competent regional authority. The necessary permits from the Generalitat Valenciana for the sampling of wild bats were granted under Exp. 2022-VS (FAU22_009).
