Indirect oral immunization of captive vampires, Desmodus rotundus

open access: yesVirus Research, 2005
A vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein recombinant virus (V-RG) vaccine was tested in hematophagous bats (Desmodus rotundus) kept in captivity. The vaccine was applied in a neutral vehicle (Vaseline) spread on the back of one or two vector bats, which were then reintroduced into their groups.

Vaccinating the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus against rabies

Virus Research, 2008
The objective of this study was to extend the previous work of indirect oral rabies immunization of vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) maintained in captivity, which demonstrated the immunogenicity of the V-RG vaccine (Vaccinia-Rabies Glycoprotein) and indicated that although the results had been encouraging, a new method for concentrating the vaccine ...

Echolocation Performance of the Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus)

Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 1977
AbstractThe neotropical vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) echolocate using ultrasonic pulses like those of the Latin American phyllostomatid bats. In this paper the orally produced echolocation sounds of Desmodus are analysed and the performance of the echolocation system is studied in two‐choice training experiments on two vampire bats.

Economic Losses Due to Desmodus Rotundus

2018
If a single species were to be selected to represent the Neo-Tropical fauna, the logical choice would be the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, not only because of its widespread distribution throughout the Americas. Carini suggested that the rabid vampire bat was responsible for this explosive mortality.

Thermoperception in the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus)

Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 1982
1. The common vampire bat,Desmodus rotundus, is known to be capable of detecting temperature differences. In the experiments described here two animals were trained to give preference to the radiation emitted by a warm signal unit (the negative unit was left at room temperature).
