Abstract:
Outbreaks of attacks upon human beings by vampire bats seems to be a common phenomenon in several regions of Latin America, but the occurrence of rabies infection among humans bled by vampires, is relatively low. In the present study, two outbreaks of human rabies transmitted by common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are described from Bahia State, Northeasthern Brazil, in 1991 and 1992. The first was recorded in Aporá where 308 people were bled by vampire bats and three of these die from this zoonosis. The 2nd outbreak occurred in Conde where only five people were bled by vampires, and two d

Abstract:
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 poisons, are not used extensively due in part to the high cost of application, risks for bats that share roosts with vampires and residual environmental contamination. Observations that vampire bat bites may induce resistance in livestock against vampire bat salivary anticoagulants encourage research into novel vaccine-based alternatives parti

Abstract:
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Summary In the evolution of flight bats appear to have suffered a trade-off; they have become poor crawlers relative to terrestrial mammals. Capable walking does occur in a few disparate taxa, including the vampire bats, but the vast majority of bats are able only to shuffle awkwardly along the ground, and the morphological bases of differences in crawling ability are not currently understood. One widely cited hypothesis suggests that the femora of most bats are too weak to withstand the compressive forces that occur during terrestrial locomot

Microbial communities play important roles in organismal and ecosystem health. High throughput sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of host-associated microbial communities, but the viral component of these communities remains poorly characterized relative to microbes such as bacteria, particularly in non-human hosts. This knowledge gap has implications for global health, as viruses originating in wildlife are responsible for recent disease outbreaks in humans and domestic animals. Although studies have identified factors differentiating viral communities between species, we have li

Iron storage disease is a significant cause of liver disease and mortality in captive Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus). The nature of the susceptibility in this and other captive exotic species to iron storage disease is not clear. Hepcidin, a key iron regulatory hormone, is involved in the regulation of iron absorption in humans and other mammalian species and a deficiency in hepcidin has been associated with a number of genetic mutations resulting in hemochromatosis in humans. The objectives of this thesis were to identify whether there is a functional mutation in the hepcidin

Abstract:
Predators make various foraging decisions at different spatial and temporal scales. Such decisions can be studied at two levels: patch decisions at the landscape level, and prey decisions at the foraging patch level. In my thesis, I attempted to understand these patch and prey level decisions in the insectivorous bat, Megaderma spasma (lesser false vampire bat), in a human-dominated heterogeneous landscape. I first investigated space use in the context of roost use and foraging locations. Individual bats showed fidelity to both their roost and foraging sites across days. We also found that ma

This is the first record of Desmodus stocki from the central Appalachians.
