2 Roosts shared with a structured longitudinal study investigating HeV infection and transmission dynamics in flying-foxes (reported elsewhere); site selection changed after first bi-monthly sampling event from Toowoomba to Boonah.
3 Roosts shared with a cross-sectional study series investigating the association between flying-fox roost disturbance and HeV infection dynamics [25].
