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 (10[1])of these organisms (-5[1])by (10[1])the fungus Pseudo·gymno·ascus (-5[1])destructans is the source of white-nose syndrome. (10[3])A dampened inflammation response could explain why these animals can survive rabies. (-5[1])A species of these mammals that consume blood is known as their “vampire” type. (10[1])During (10[1])winter, many of these animals hibernate in caves while hanging upside-down. (10[1])For 10 points, name this order of mammals which evolved the ability to fly. ■END■
