A coronavirus detected in the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 This article reports on the identification of a group 2 coronavirus (BatCoV DR/2007) in a Desmodus rotundus vampire bat in Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis of ORF1b revealed that BatCoV DR/2007 originates from a unique lineage in the archetypical group 2 ...

Anticoagulants for the Control of the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) [PDF]
Zoonoses and Public HealthABSTRACTBackgroundIn Latin America, there is a high incidence of vampire bat‐transmitted rabies in cattle causing increased mortality of livestock, which heavily impacts the agricultural sector. Anticoagulants‐based control methods for the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) have been employed continuously since the 1970s with various methods of ...

Assessing sexual dimorphism in the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus. [PDF]
PLoS OneSexual dimorphism in bats is understudied, with conflicting evidence across species and geographic regions. For Desmodus rotundus , the common vampire bat, previous reports on morphological sex differences have been inconsistent. This study aimed to assess sexual dimorphism in

Virus-Dependent Geographic Structure of Co-Circulating Viruses in a Single Bat Species. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Understanding the spatial spread of viruses within wildlife populations is often a key component of disease management efforts. Viral spread is likely constrained by host ecology, but inter‐virus differences in infection strategy might allow some viruses to overcome these constraints, leading to divergent population structures within a common ...

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.
