| environmental conditions favoring bat infection with histoplasma capsulatum in mexican shelters. | histoplasma capsulatum was isolated from gut, lung, liver, and spleen of 17 of 208 captured bats belonging to 6 different genera and species. three of the 17 infected bats were from the state of guerrero and 14 were from the state of morelos. all were adult bats: 6 males (1 pteronotus parnellii, 2 natalus stramineus, 2 artibeus hirsutus, and 1 leptonycteris nivalis) and 11 females (1 myotis californicus, 1 mormoops megalophylla, 8 a. hirsutus, and 1 l. nivalis). high rates of bat infection with ... | 1999 | 10674670 |
| bat ectoparasites from the trans-pecos region of texas, including notes from big bend national park. | ectoparasites of 13 species of molossid, mormoopid, and vespertilionid bats from the trans-pecos region of texas were studied, as follows: antrozous pallidus (leconte), corynorhinus townsendii (cooper), eptesicus fuscus (palisot de beauvois), lasiurus cinereus (palisot de beauvois), mormoops megalophylla (peters), myotis thysanodes g. s. miller, myotis velifer (j. a. allen), myotis volans (h. allen), myotis yumanensis (h. allen), nyctinomops femorosaccus (merriam), nyctinomops macrotis (gray), p ... | 2001 | 11372965 |
| doppler-shift compensation behavior by wagner's mustached bat, pteronotus personatus. | doppler-shift compensation behavior (dsc) is a highly specialized vocal response displayed by bats that emit pulses with a prominent constant frequency (cf) component and adjust the frequency of their cf component to compensate for flight-speed induced doppler shifts in the frequency of the returning echoes. dsc has only been observed in one member of the neotropical mormoopidae, a family of bats that use pulses with prominent cf components, leading researchers to suspect that dsc is a uniquely ... | 2008 | 18537384 |
| [population dynamics, roost selection and reproductive patterns of some cave bats from western of mexico]. | population dynamics, roost selection and reproductive patterns of some cave bats from western of mexico. almost half of bat species that occur in mexico use caves as permanent or temporal roosts. however, the ecological studies about cave bat communities are scarce. in this work we studied the population dynamics, roost selection and reproductive patterns of some bats present in el salitre cave, colima, mexico. we carried out monthly samplings between august 2003-march 2005 using a harp trap for ... | 2012 | 23025105 |
| macuahuitloides inexpectans n. gen., n. sp. (molineidae: anoplostrongylinae) from mormoops megalophylla (chiroptera: mormoopidae). | macuahuitloides inexpectans n. gen., n. sp. (molineidae: anoplostrongylinae) is herein described. the description is based on specimens removed from the small intestine of ghost-faced bats, mormoops megalophylla, from central mexico. the monotypic genus is unique in featuring sexual dimorphism on the cuticular ornamentation, which consists of the presence of spines on the anterior quarter of females, and of the presence of rugosities on the surface of the cephalic vesicle of males. the cuticular ... | 2014 | 24919089 |
| a new spirurid (nematoda) parasite from mormoopid bats in mexico. | a new nematode species, spirura mexicana n. sp., is described from specimens recovered from the esophageal mucosa of the parnell's mustached bat pteronotus parnellii , davy's naked-backed bat pteronotus davyi, wagner's mustached bat pteronotus personatus, and the ghost-faced bat mormoops megalophylla in the state of morelos, mexico. this nematode is characterized by having a relatively short prostoma, 5-6 pairs of caudal papillae, and a smooth distal end of the tail in females. this is the first ... | 2012 | 22509820 |
| babesia sp. in colombian bats (microchiroptera). | two leaf-chinned bats (mormoops megalophylla) collected in 1963 in central colombia were heavily infected with babesia sp., probably babesia vesperuginis. both bats had pronounced splenomegaly. this is the first report of a babesia sp. infection of a bat in the americas. | 1996 | 8827683 |
| helminth fauna associated with three neotropical bat species (chiroptera: mormoopidae) in veracruz, mexico. | bats are recognized as potential hosts of pathogens exploiting the food chain to reach them as definitive hosts. however, very little is known about their endoparasites, especially for neotropical bats. in this study, we assessed the helminth fauna associated with 3 insectivorous bat species roosting in the same single hot cave in central veracruz, mexico: the ghost-faced bat (mormoops megalophylla), the naked-backed bat (pteronotus davyi) and wagner's mustached bat (pteronotus personatus). duri ... | 2017 | 28420310 |
| craniofacial, occlusal, and masticatory anatomy in bats. | skull measurements from ten anatomically and behaviorally diverse genera of bats show marked variation in positioning of the face upon the cranium but a relative stability of the site of the mandibular fossa. factors associated with maintaining occlusion in bats which exhibit dorsally-inclined maxillary toothrows include dorsally angulated mandibular bodies and elevated condyles. detailed comparisons are made between the generalized morphology of myotis lucifugus and anatomical extremes represen ... | 1980 | 7457933 |
