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 database of common vampire bat reports [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2022 AbstractThe common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is a sanguivorous (i.e., blood-eating) bat species distributed in the Americas from northern Mexico southwards to central Chile and Argentina. Desmodus rotundus is one of only three mammal species known to feed exclusively on blood, mainly from domestic mammals, although large wildlife and occasionally

Does Mouth-Licking In Vampire Bats Serve Other Functions Besides Food Sharing? [PDF]
Animal Behavior and CognitionRegurgitated food sharing in vampire bats is a cooperative behavior that has garnered scientific interest as an example of reciprocal helping among kin and non-kin. The amount of food given is estimated via the duration of mouth-licking.

Bats and their role in human rabies epidemiology in the Americas
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008 Bats are very interesting animals: they are the unique flying mammals, have developed a highly sophisticated echolocation system, and have become specialized to eat different types of diets.
