It is known that bats harbor pathogens such as, the recently very well known in Spain, Ebola and even then they do not show at first glance that they suffer from it.
This is due, according to a recent study, to antiviral pathway called antiviral STING-interferon tat allows them to maintain sufficient defense against the disease without triggering an intensified inmune reaction.
