| mitochondrial dna signatures at different spatial scales: from the effects of the straits of gibraltar to population structure in the meridional serotine bat (eptesicus isabellinus). | the meridional serotine bat eptesicus isabellinus is found in north africa and the iberian peninsula. we analyzed the genetic structure of e. isabellinus at two different geographic scales to reveal the historical and ecological patterns that have shaped its populations. the role of the straits of gibraltar as an isolating barrier between african and iberian populations is evaluated and the degree of genetic structure and female-mediated gene flow was assessed at a local scale between neighborin ... | 2009 | 19401715 |
| 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 |
