eblv1 circulation in natural bat colonies of eptesicus serotinus: a six year survey.	the serotine bat (eptesicus serotinus) accounts for 95 % of cases of human exposition to eblv1. the aim of this study was to focus on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of eblv1 infection in the serotine bat. our first objective was the development of an rt-pcr technique for the specific detection of eblv1 rna in oro-pharyngeal swabs. this technique showed better performance than the classical immunofluorescence (if) on brain in detecting eblv1 in healthy flying bats. we have used this technique ...	2006	16878483
asymptomatic rhabdovirus infection in meridional serotine bats (eptesicus isabellinus) from spain.	different rhabdoviruses have been found in healthy bats, suggesting asymptomatic infection. the aim of this study was to focus on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of eblv1 infection in the meridional serotine bat (eptesicus isabellinus), as well as to search for other rhabdoviruses in this bat, which is the responsible for more than 95% of cases of human exposure to lyssaviruses in europe. rt-pcr on oropharyngeal swabs was used together with antibody detection by the rapid fluorescent focus inh ...	2008	18634493
