Question

A 2013 study of the genomes of these organisms grouped them into two suborders named for yin and yang. These organisms are the original reservoir of the Marburg virus. Infection of these organisms (10[1])by the fungus Pseudo·gymno·ascus destructans (10[1])is the source of white-nose (-5[1])syndrome. (10[3]-5[1])A dampened (10[1])inflammation response could explain why these animals can survive rabies. (10[1])A species of these mammals that consume blood is known as their (10[1])“vampire” (10[1])type. (10[2])During winter, many of these animals hibernate in caves while hanging upside-down. For 10 points, name this order of mammals which evolved the ability to fly. ■END■ (10[1])
