Desmodus rotundus and Artibeus spp. bats might present distinct rabies virus lineages
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012 In Brazil, bats have been assigned an increasing importance in public health as they are important rabies reservoirs. Phylogenetic studies have shown that rabies virus (RABV) strains from frugivorous bats Artibeus spp.

Unraveling the mystery of Tacaribe virus [PDF]
mSphereTacaribe virus (TCRV) was first isolated in the mid-1950s from several Artibeus species bats in and around Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Since that time, debate has persisted whether artibeus bats serve as reservoir hosts of the virus or whether ...

Genomic characterization of a novel Hepatovirus identified in Maranhão state, Brazil [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBats are efficient reservoirs of a number of viruses with zoonotic potential, and are involved directly in the transmission cycle of many zoonoses. In the present study, which is part of a larger project that is documenting the viromes of the bat species

Rare or misidentified? On the external identification of the neglected Artibeus inopinatus Davis & Carter, 1964 (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) in Honduras [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2020 For years, the identification of Artibeus species has been controversial due to the overlap of morphometric characteristics between species. From February 2015 to September 2019, we sampled 25 sites in 10 departments of Honduras, and captured 81 Artibeus

Serological evidence of arenavirus circulation among fruit bats in Trinidad. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tacaribe virus (TCRV) was isolated in the 1950s from artibeus bats captured on the island of Trinidad. The initial characterization of TCRV suggested that artibeus bats were natural reservoir hosts.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.
