| assessing genetic variability in bat species of emballonuridae, phyllostomidae, vespertilionidae and molossidae families (chiroptera) by rflp-pcr. | a pcr-rflp analysis of the restriction pattern in nuclear (rag2) and mitochondrial (12s/16s) gene sequences of bat species from the molossidae, phyllostomidae, vespertilionidae, and emballonuridae families produced a large number of fragments: 107 for rag2 and 155 for 12s/16s combined in 139 and 402 haplotypes, respectively. the values detected for gene variation were low for both sequences (0.13 for rag2 and 0.15 for 12s/16s) and reflected their conservative feature, reinforced by high values o ... | 2008 | 19048495 |
| leishmania infection in bats from a non-endemic region of leishmaniasis in brazil. | leishmaniasis is a complex of zoonotic diseases caused by parasites of the genus leishmania, which can develop in domestic as well as wild animals and humans throughout the world. currently, this disease is spreading in rural and urban areas of non-endemic regions in brazil. recently, bats have gained epidemiological significance in leishmaniasis due to its close relationship with human settlements. in this study, we investigated the presence of leishmania spp. dna in blood samples from 448 bats ... | 2017 | 28831941 |

| emended description of litomosoides molossi (nematoda: onchocercidae) and first records of litomosoides species parasitizing argentinean bats. | : during a long-term study on biodiversity of bats in the yungas and entre ríos provinces, 1,304 specimens of bats included in the families noctilionidae, phyllostomidae, vespertilionidae, and molossidae were collected and checked for filarioids. litomosoides molossi esslinger, 1973 was recovered from the thoracic and abdominal cavities of molossus molossus (prevalence [p] = 6.4%); litomosoides chandleri esslinger, 1973 from artibeus planirostris (p = 6.9%), sturnira oporaphilum (p = 66.6%), st ... | 2016 | 27098753 |
| rabies diagnosis and serology in bats from the state of são paulo, brazil. | bats are one of the most important reservoirs and vectors of the rabies virus in the world. | 2011 | 21468481 |
| antigenic and genetic characterization of the first rabies virus isolated from the bat eumops perotis in brazil. | although the main transmitters of rabies in brazil are dogs and vampire bats, the role of other species such as insectivorous and frugivorous bats deserves special attention, as the rabies virus has been isolated from 36 bat species. this study describes the first isolation of the rabies virus from the insectivorous bat eumops perotis. the infected animal was found in the city of ribeirão preto, são paulo. the virus was identified by immunofluorescence antibody test (fat) in central nervous syst ... | 2008 | 18488088 |
| intrachromosomal distribution of telomeric repeats in eumops glaucinus and euntops perotis (molossidae, chiroptera). | the location of chromosomal telomeric repeats (ttaggg)n was investigated in two species of the molossidae family, eumops glaucinus and eumops perotis. the diploid chromosome number (2n) is 40 in e. glaucinus and 48 in e. perotis and the fundamental numbers (fn) are 64 and 58, respectively. it has been suggested that the e. glaucinus karyotype has evolved from the e. perotis karyotype through robertsonian fusion events. in the present study, the telomeric sequences were detected at the termini of ... | 2000 | 11117352 |
