In the Genus Spiroplasma, at least two species have been identified as plant pathogens, Spiroplasma citri, the causative agent of citrus stubborn disease (Saglio et al., 1973) and Spiroplasma kunkelii, which is associated with corn stunt disease (Whitcomb et al., 1986) . Alternatively, microbiome analysis of insectivorous bats that feed on fruit eating insects could allow us to monitor phytoplasma prevalence and spread. Looking at their data from a plant disease perspective, we wondered if frugivorous and nectivorous bats could play a role in the transmission of plant pathogens. Here, we speculate upon the role of frugivorous and nectivorous bats as possible vectors of plant pathogens. jamaicensis ( Figure 1B) and Carollia perspicillata ( Figure 1C ) and nectivorous bats Leptonycteris yerbabuenae ( Figure 1D) and Glossophaga soricina (Figure 1E ) that were sampled by the authors.	./cache/cord-003327-pad65nww.txt	./txt/cord-003327-pad65nww.txt
