dna barcoding and genetic diversity of phyllostomid bats from the yucatan peninsula with comparisons to central america.the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit i gene is the standard dna barcoding region used for species identification and discovery. we examined the variation of coi (454 bp) to discriminate 20 species of bats in the family phyllostomidae that are found in the yucatan peninsula of southeastern mexico and northern guatemala and compared them genetically to other samples from central america. the majority of these species had low intraspecific variation (mean = 0.75%), but some taxa had intra ...201222372841
landscape ecology of trypanosoma cruzi in the southern yucatan peninsula.landscape interactions of trypanosoma cruzi (tc) with triatoma dimidiata (td) depend on the presence and relative abundance of mammal hosts. this study analyzed a landscape adjacent to the calakmul biosphere reserve, composed of conserved areas, crop and farming areas, and the human community of zoh laguna with reported chagas disease cases. sylvatic mammals of the chiroptera, rodentia, and marsupialia orders were captured, and livestock and pets were sampled along with t. dimidiata in all habit ...201526219998
serologic evidence of flavivirus infection in bats in the yucatan peninsula of mexico.we captured 140 bats of seven species in merida city in the yucatan peninsula of mexico in 2010. serum was collected from each bat and assayed by plaque reduction neutralization test (prnt) using six flaviviruses: west nile virus, st. louis encephalitis virus, and dengue viruses 1-4. flavivirus-specific antibodies were detected in 26 bats (19%). the antibody-positive bats belonged to three species: the pallas's long-tongued bat (glossophaga soricina), jamaican fruit bat (artibeus jamaicensis), a ...023778622
