[rabies virus in nyctinomops laticaudatus bats in the city of rio de janeiro: isolation, titration and epidemiology].the first case report of rabies in bats of the species nyctinomops laticaudatus, in the city of rio de janeiro city, is presented. virus isolation and titration were performed in different tissues, and high titers were found in the brain and salivary glands. rabies occurrence in such an infrequent species in this state suggests that the disease may be more prevalent than it appears to be.200717876476
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 ...200819048495
new insights into telomeric dna sequence (ttaggg)n location in bat chromosomes.molossidae species, cynomops abrasus (2n = 34, fundamental number, fn = 64), eumops auripendulus (2n = 42, fn = 62), molossus rufus (2n = 48, fn = 64), molossops temminckii (2n = 48, fn = 64), and nyctinomops laticaudatus (2n = 48, fn = 64), and phyllostomidae species, phyllostomus discolor (2n = 32, fn = 60), have karyotypes with different chromosome and fundamental numbers, different localization of constitutive heterochromatin, and different numbers and location of nucleolar organizer regions ...200919731218
pathogenicity of different rabies virus isolates and protection test in vaccinated mice.this study was aimed to evaluate and compare the pathogenicity of rabies virus isolated from bats and dogs, and to verify the efficacy of a commercial rabies vaccine against these isolates. for evaluation of pathogenicity, mice were inoculated by the intramuscular route (im) with 500micld₅₀/0.03 ml of the viruses. the cross-protection test was performed by vaccinating groups of mice by the subcutaneous route and challenged through the intracerebral (ic) route. isolates were fully pathogenic when ...201021049225
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.201121468481
monoclonal antibodies for characterization of rabies virus isolated from non-hematophagous bats in brazil.in brazil, various isolates of rabies virus (rabv) show antigenic profiles distinct from those established by the reduced panel of eight monoclonal antibodies (mabs) determined by the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc), utilized for the antigenic characterization of rabv in the americas. the objective of this study was to produce mabs from rabv isolates from insectivorous bats with an antigenic profile incompatible with the pre-established one.201526623633
bat assemblages in conservation areas of a metropolitan region in southeastern brazil, including an important karst habitat.species richness and abundance of bats were studied in four nature reserves, including a karst area which has many potential rocky shelters for bats, such as caves and rock crevices. the reserves were located in the greater belo horizonte metropolitan area, one of the most populated regions of brazil, within the atlantic forest, and cerrado (brazilian savanna) ecological domains. bats were sampled using mist-nets and, in the karst area, also by active searches in shelters. a total of 1,599 bats ...201323917558
redescription and taxonomical considerations about aonchotheca (aonchotheca) pulchra n. comb. (enoplida: trichuridae), a nematode of nyctinomops spp.pterothominx pulchra (freitas, 1934) are little known gastric nematodes of nyctinomops laticaudatus (chiroptera: molossidae). information about the occurrence and host range of these parasites in neotropical region is still scanty, and the only two morphological descriptions available in the literature are divergent about the presence or absence of a spiny spicular sheath in males, which may lead to incorrect taxonomical positioning, since this feature represents the main difference between the ...201625271463
coronaviruses in bats from mexico.bats are reservoirs for a wide range of human pathogens including nipah, hendra, rabies, ebola, marburg and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (cov). the recent implication of a novel beta (β)-cov as the cause of fatal respiratory disease in the middle east emphasizes the importance of surveillance for covs that have potential to move from bats into the human population. in a screen of 606 bats from 42 different species in campeche, chiapas and mexico city we identified 13 distinct co ...201323364191
leishmania presence in bats in areas endemic for leishmaniasis in central-west brazil.leishmaniasis involves the participation of several species of both wild and domestic mammal hosts and sandfly vectors, which demonstrates the eco-epidemiological complexity observed in this disease. bats are among the most abundant types of mammals and the scarcity of research on leishmania infection in these animals gives evidence of the importance of new studies that aim to clarify this relationship. this study aimed to detect the leishmania spp. in bats. 146 bats, representing 16 different s ...202032195111
nyctinomops laticaudatus bat-associated rabies virus causes disease with a shorter clinical period and has lower pathogenic potential than strains isolated from wild canids.rabies is a lethal viral disease that can affect a wide range of mammals. currently, rabies virus (rabv) in some european and american countries is maintained primarily in wild species. the regulation of viral replication is one of the critical mechanisms involved in rabv pathogenesis. however, the relationship between replication and the pathogenesis of rabv isolated from wild animals remains poorly understood. in the present study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of the street viruses nyctinomo ...201931297587
first record of predation of nyctinomops laticaudatus (é. geoffroy, 1805) by chrotopterus auritus (peters, 1856) (mammalia: chiroptera).the wooly false vampire bat, chrotopterus auritus (peters, 1856) (chiroptera: phyllostomidae), feeds on small mammals, birds, lizards, frogs and occasionally large insects and fruits. in this paper we report an additional evidence of bat predation by c. auritus. a male of this species was captured with a partially eaten broad-eared free-tailed bat, nyctinomops laticaudatus (é. geoffroy, 1805) (chiroptera: molossidae). this record was obtained during a research project conducted in the biological ...201931534411
genotoxicological analyses of insectivorous bats (mammalia: chiroptera) in central brazil: the oral epithelium as an indicator of environmental quality.the micronucleus (mn) test of the human buccal mucosa was developed more than 30 years ago, although this technique has only recently been applied to wild mammals. this paper presents a pioneering study in the genotoxicological evaluation of the exfoliated cells of the buccal mucosa of bats. the assay was applied to two insectivorous bat species (noctilio albiventris and pteronotus parnellii) sampled in riparian corridors located in the city of palmas (capital of the brazilian state of tocantins ...201930458380
