Bats are useful to mankind because they eat many insect pests and produce large amounts of guano (fertilizer). Fruit bats, which are much larger than North American bats, are eaten by some South Pacific islanders. Some fruit bats feed on nectar and pollinate flowers, while others disperse seeds that help in the distribution of plants in forest areas.
Not all bats are beneficial. A few may be carriers of diseases, including rabies. A very small percentage of fruit bats in Africa have been found to carry such viruses as ebola and Marburg. Vampire bats, which live mostly in Mexico and northern parts of South America, are injurious to animals.
