Signs of a vector's adaptive choice: on the evasion of infectious hosts and parasite-induced mortality [PDF]
, 1994 Laboratory and field experiments have demonstrated in many cases that malaria vectors do not feed randomly, but show important preferences either for infected or non-infected hosts.

Genetic Diversity of Bartonella spp. in Cave-Dwelling Bats and Bat Flies, Costa Rica, 2018
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 To determine Bartonella spp. dynamics, we sampled bats and bat flies across 15 roosts in Costa Rica. PCR indicated prevalence of 10.7% in bats and 29.0% in ectoparasite pools.

Updated Taxonomic Key of European Nycteribiidae (Diptera), with a Host-Parasite Network
Diversity, 2023 Current taxonomical keys are essential for better biodiversity knowledge. Moreover, accurate identification of groups of organisms known to act as disease vectors is vital in today’s world of change and the spread of zoonotic disease threats.

Ultrasonic Vocalizations Of Flying Bats Monitored By Radiotelemetry [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1992 ABSTRACT Ultrasonic vocalizations of flying bats were effectively monitored with radiotelemetry. We describe a device light enough to be carried by an 11g bat for periods of up to 1h. It transmitted signals adequate for fine frequency analysis within a range of approximately 3 m.
