Enzootic and Epizootic Rabies Associated with Vampire Bats, Peru [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 During the past decade, incidence of human infection with rabies virus (RABV) spread by the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) increased considerably in South America, especially in remote areas of the Amazon rainforest, where these bats commonly ...

Management of vampire bats and rabies: a precaution for rewilding projects in the Neotropics
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Changes in animal population dynamics and community composition following species (re)introduction may have unanticipated consequences for a variety of downstream ecosystem processes, including infectious disease transmission.

Dynamics of Rabies Epidemics in Vampire Bats
Complexity, 2020 In order to study the transmission of rabies epidemics in vampire bats, we propose a mathematical model for vampire bat rabies virus. A threshold R0 is identified which determines the outcome of the disease. If R0<1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and if R0>1, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically ...

Classification of human breathing sounds by the common vampire bat,
BMC Biology, 2006 Background The common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus is one of three bat species that feed exclusively on the blood of mammals often more than 1000 times its size. Vampire bats even feed on human blood.

Viruses, 2021 The common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is a hematophagous species responsible for paralytic rabies and bite damage that affects livestock, humans and wildlife from Mexico to Argentina. Current measures to control vampires, based upon coumarin-derived

Frontiers in Virology, 2022 The apparent ability of bats to harbor many virulent viruses without showing disease is likely driven by distinct immune responses that coevolved with mammalian flight and the exceptional longevity of this order.

Clinical Presentation and Serologic Response during a Rabies Epizootic in Captive Common Vampire Bats (Desmodus rotundus) [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020 We report mortality events in a group of 123 common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) captured in México and housed for a rabies vaccine efficacy study in Madison, Wisconsin.

Genetic diversity, infection prevalence, and possible transmission routes of Bartonella spp. in vampire bats. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Bartonella spp. are globally distributed bacteria that cause endocarditis in humans and domestic animals. Recent work has suggested bats as zoonotic reservoirs of some human Bartonella infections; however, the ecological and spatiotemporal patterns of ...

A method for rapid testing of social learning in vampire bats [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Designing experiments on social learning using an untested behaviour or species requires baseline knowledge of how the animals will perform. We conducted a pilot study of a procedure for rapidly testing social learning in the highly social common vampire
