  That is a very difficult question to answer. Bats seem to have a very robust immune system. Unlocking what Daubenton’s bats immune systems special may help improve human health and fight disease. Getting an understanding of their genome would be a first step in this process. For now, we cant predict how long it will take to develop practical application.
