Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wildlife infectious disease control devices, specifically to an oral immunization device for bats. Background Technology

[0002] Pathogens carried or infected by wild animals can cause outbreaks in humans, livestock, or pets, and even lead to major public health emergencies. It is estimated that approximately 70% of human diseases are zoonotic. As the second largest mammal species after rodents, bats possess biological and ecological characteristics such as long-distance migration, exceptionally long lifespan, gregarious behavior, and strong immunity. They can carry a variety of human pathogens, such as Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Hennipah virus, rabies virus, and coronaviruses. Therefore, bats are important zoonotic viral hosts, playing a crucial role in the emergence and spread of emerging infectious diseases. Furthermore, in recent years, influenced by global climate change and escalating human activities, the problem of major infectious diseases related to bats has intensified.

[0003] For disease prevention and control, monitoring alone is insufficient; intervention and control of the source of infection risk are also necessary. Traditional disease control methods involve drastically reducing the population density of wild animal reservoir hosts, including mass culling, poisoning, and hormone sterilization. However, none of these measures can control the disease on a larger scale. Rabies was the first zoonotic disease successfully controlled through wildlife immunization.

[0004] Vaccination is a powerful tool for controlling infectious diseases, but currently only a small number of experimental vaccinations have been conducted in captive bats. Inactivated rabies vaccines have been tested in Brazilian tailless bats, recombinant live vaccines using vaccinia virus as a vector have been tested in vampire bats, and recombinant live vaccines using raccoon pox virus as a vector have been tested in greater brown bats and Brazilian tailless bats, including routes of administration such as topical, oral, and intramuscular injection. However, these vaccination methods are not feasible for implementing scalable and effective large-scale vaccination in wild bat populations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an oral immunization device for bats, which can induce immunity in wild bat populations through oral administration.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The bat oral immunization device of this utility model includes:

[0008] The first container is a container structure with an open top and a closed bottom, and the first container contains a vaccine solution or a mixture of vaccine and inducer liquid.

[0009] A grid structure is circumferentially positioned at the opening of the first container;

[0010] The second container is an open-top, closed-bottom container structure. The second container is positioned above the first container and is fixed to the grid structure. The second container contains an attracting liquid.

[0011] An artificial fountain, located within the second container, is used to disperse an attractant liquid in a fountain-like manner to lure bats.

[0012] Preferably, in the bat oral immunization device, the attractant liquid is a salt, amino acid, or vitamin solution.

[0013] Preferably, in the bat oral immunization device, the length of the second container is shorter than the length of the first container to facilitate oral administration of the vaccine solution to bats.

[0014] Preferably, the bat oral immunization device further includes an ultrasonic attractor, which is disposed on the side wall of the first container and the mesh structure as a whole, for attracting bats to gather.

[0015] Preferably, in the aforementioned bat oral immunization device, the ultrasonic lure is an ultrasonic player.

[0016] This utility model has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0017] (1) This utility model can realize large-scale vaccination of bats, thereby controlling the spread of zoonotic diseases at the source;

[0018] (2) This utility model will not affect the population ecology of bats. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same parts. In the drawings:

[0021] The labels for the attached figures are as follows:

[0022] 1-First container; 2-Grid structure; 3-Second container; 4-Artificial fountain; 5-Ultrasonic lure. Detailed Implementation

[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0024] This invention provides a bat oral immunization device. Using a saline trap consisting of a vaccine, an artificial fountain, and an ultrasonic attractor, bats acquire immunity orally by ingesting saline containing the vaccine. This achieves bat immunization, thereby blocking virus transmission, without disrupting the original population density and maintaining ecological balance.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bat oral immunization device provided by this utility model includes: a first container 1, which is a container structure with an open top and a closed bottom, and contains a vaccine solution or a mixture of vaccine and attractant liquid; a grid structure 2, which is circumferentially arranged at the opening of the first container 1 to facilitate bats hanging and perching; a second container 3, which is a container structure with an open top and a closed bottom, which is arranged above the first container 1 and fixed to the grid structure 2, and contains attractant liquid; and an artificial fountain 4, which is arranged in the second container 3 to cause the attractant liquid to be emitted in a fountain manner to attract bats.

[0026] In the above embodiments, preferably, the attracting liquid is a salt, amino acid, or vitamin solution.

[0027] In the above embodiments, preferably, the length of the second container 3 is less than the length of the first container 1, so as to facilitate oral administration of the bat vaccine solution.

[0028] In the above embodiments, preferably, the present invention also includes an ultrasonic attractor 5, which is disposed on the side wall of the first container 1 and the mesh structure 2 forming an integral whole, for attracting bats to gather.

[0029] In the above embodiments, preferably, the ultrasonic attractor 5 is an ultrasonic player, which plays original, noise-reduced, or synthesized bat calls in random order or at random intervals.

[0030] It should be noted that the oral immunization device for bats described in this invention can be placed in caves where bats live in colonies.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
