Bombali Ebolavirus in Mops condylurus Bats (Molossidae), Mozambique [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We detected Bombali ebolavirus RNA in 3 free-tailed bats (Mops condylurus, Molossidae) in Mozambique. Sequencing of the large protein gene revealed 98% identity with viruses previously detected in Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Guinea.

Back to the future: A preserved specimen validates the presence of Molossuspretiosus (Molossidae, Chiroptera) in Honduras. [PDF]

Zookeys
Abstract Molossuspretiosus is a molossid bat that has been thought to exist in Honduras. While some authors have suggested its range extends all the way to Mexico, others have placed its northernmost distribution in Nicaragua. We present evidence, based

Cranial morphology reveals a lack of phylogenetic signal and rapid adaptive radiation in the bat genus Molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae). [PDF]

PLoS One
The 16 species of Molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae) are distributed throughout the Neotropical region and can be classified into two groups: one consisting of morphologically similar yet phylogenetically divergent species, and another of morphologically ...

Diversity of Rabies Virus Variants in Insectivorous Bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae and Molossidae): An Epidemiological Study in Central Argentine Patagonia. [PDF]

Viruses
Rabies virus (RABV) causes a fatal infection in the central nervous system of mammals. RABV circulates through two different epidemiological cycles—terrestrial and aerial—with bats being the natural reservoir of the aerial cycle.
