Bat-Associated Pathogenic <i>Leptospira</i> spp. from Forest Fragments in Southwestern Brazilian Amazonia. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisBats are known as potential carriers of different pathogens; these animals have been identified worldwide as an important reservoir of different species of Leptospira. Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in studying leptospirosis in neotropical bats in the Amazon.

Review of the bat flies of honduras, central america (Diptera: streblidae). [PDF]
J Parasitol Res, 2013 Streblid bat flies are obligate and host‐specific blood‐feeding ectoparasites of bats. While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae. Accumulation of substantial numbers of specimens, from several different collections, has enabled a relatively thorough treatment of ...
