Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisLeptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

Renal function in the neotropical bat, Artibeus jamaicensis [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1983 1. When feeding on figs (Ficus insipida), the bat Artibeus jamaicensis increases dietary sodium density while decreasing potassium density by primarily extracting and ingesting pulp juices rather than other parts of the fruit. 2. Based on urine osmotic pressure, these bats are uniformly dehydrated when they leave day roosts and become rapidly ...
