Java pipistrelle

The Javan or Eastern pipistrelle (Pipistrellus javanicus) is a species of pipistrelle bat found in South and Southeast Asia.

Range and habitat
The Javan Pipistrelle lives throughout much of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Human infrastructure
It favors human habitations, such as external crevices in old buildings, and culverts. Reports across cities suggest that they are adapted to living there despite the urban clutter. In urban areas, they are often found roosting individually or sparsely.

As possible disease reservoirs
A 2010 research paper from the Philippines regarding the prevalence of coronaviruses in bats tested several Java pipistrelle bats.
