Risk of aerosolized transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 from humans to bats as a function of cave or roost volume. The dependent axis represents the probability that at least one bat would be infected as a result of a survey, and is expressed in percent, thus, 0.1 represents a probability of 0.001. In each panel, the unmitigated scenario (bold line) is compared with use of pre‐survey testing (thin line) or surgical masks (dashed line) by field staff. (a) Myotis lucifugus. (b) Eptesicus fuscus.
