== Relationship to humans ==
=== 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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Javan pipistrelle at Kent Ridge campus |url=https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/app/uploads/2017/09/sbr2017-049.pdf |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=National University of Singapore |publisher=Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Singapore Biodiversity Records |publication-date=28 April 2017}}</ref>
=== As possible disease reservoirs === A 2010 research paper from the Philippines regarding the prevalence of coronaviruses in bats tested several Java pipistrelle bats, but none of the tested samples gave a positive result.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Table 1 - Bat Coronaviruses and Experimental Infection of Bats, the Philippines - Volume 16, Number 8—August 2010 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC |url=https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/16/8/10-0208-t1 |access-date=2020-03-19 |website=Emerging Infectious Diseases journal |language=en-us}}</ref>
