| 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 ... | 2010 | 21049225 |
| characterization of rabies virus isolated from a colony of eptesicus furinalis bats in brazil. | some bat species have adapted to the expanding human population by acquiring the ability to roost in urban buildings, increasing the exposure risk for people and domestic animals, and consequently, the likelihood of transmitting rabies. three dead bats were found in the yard of a house in an urban area of jundiaí city in the state of são paulo in southeast brazil. two of the three bats tested positive for rabies, using fluorescent antibody and mouse inoculation techniques. a large colony of epte ... | 2011 | 21412617 |
| first report of rabies infection in bats, molossus molossus, molossops neglectus and myotis riparius in the city of são paulo, state of são paulo, southeastern brazil. | this paper presents the first report of rabies in three bat species, molossus molossus, molossops neglectus and myotis riparius in the city of são paulo, brazil. | 2011 | 21503551 |
| 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. | 2015 | 26623633 |
| emended description of litomosoides molossi (nematoda: onchocercidae) and first records of litomosoides species parasitizing argentinean bats. | : during a long-term study on biodiversity of bats in the yungas and entre ríos provinces, 1,304 specimens of bats included in the families noctilionidae, phyllostomidae, vespertilionidae, and molossidae were collected and checked for filarioids. litomosoides molossi esslinger, 1973 was recovered from the thoracic and abdominal cavities of molossus molossus (prevalence [p] = 6.4%); litomosoides chandleri esslinger, 1973 from artibeus planirostris (p = 6.9%), sturnira oporaphilum (p = 66.6%), st ... | 2016 | 27098753 |
| genetic variability in species of bats revealed by rapd analysis. | random amplified polymorphic dna molecular marker was utilized as a means of analyzing genetic variability in seven bat species: molossus molossus, m. rufus, eumops glaucinus, e. perotis, myotis nigricans, eptesicus furinalis, and artibeus planirostris. the determination of genetic diversity was based on 741 bands produced by a 20-random primer set. only eight bands were considered monomorphic to one species. the greatest number of bands and the most polymorphic condition were exhibited by m. mo ... | 2006 | 17183488 |
| ultrastructure of spermatogenesis, spermatozoon and processes of testicular regression and recrudescence in eptesicus furinalis (chiroptera: vespertilionidae). | studies have shown that the annual reproductive cycle of eptesicus furinalis includes at least one period of total testicular regression. thus, this study aimed to evaluate their reproductive cycle ultrastructurally. the annual reproductive cycle was divided into four periods: active, regressing, regressed and recrudescence. the active period was similar to that of other bats, including the completion of spermatogenesis with three main types of spermatogonia (ad, ap and b) and 12 steps in the pr ... | 2014 | 24954586 |
| allintoshius bioccai n. sp. (nematoda), a parasite of the bat eptesicus furinalis from paraguay, and new data on a. parallintoshius (araujo, 1940). | a new species of parasitic nematode (nematoda: trichostrongylina, heligmosomoidea) allintoshius bioccai n. sp., found in the small intestine of the vespertilionid bat eptesicus furinalis from paraguay, is described. the new species can be differentiated from a. urumiac (freitas and mendonça, 1960) by the absence of vulvar spines in females, and from a. nudicaudus (freitas and mendonça, 1963) by the shape of the spicules and the dorsal ray of the copulatory bursa. new data on the morphology and d ... | 2002 | 12404810 |
| first detection of "candidatus rickettsia wissemanii" in ornithodoros hasei (schulze, 1935) (acari: argasidae) from argentina. | the aim of this study was to assess the presence of rickettsia in soft ticks (acari: argasidae) collected from insectivorous bats (chiroptera) in santa fe province, argentina. first, a subset of ticks were mounted in hoyer's medium to be determined by morphological characters and then confirmed by sequencing the mitochondrial 16s rrna gene. also ticks were processed by pcr assays using primers cs-78 and cs-323, which amplify a fragment of the rickettsia spp. glta gene. positive ticks were subjec ... | 2020 | 32312647 |
