| six new eimeria species from vespertilionid bats of north america. | twenty species of bats (molossidae, vespertilionidae) were collected from california, new mexico, oregon, south carolina, utah, and baja california norte (mexico), and 29 of 404 (7%) animals, including antrozous pallidus, eptesicus fuscus, myotis auriculus, myotis californicus, myotis ciliolabrum, myotis evotis, myotis lucifugus, myotis thysanodes, myotis vivesi, myotis volans, myotis yumanensis, and nycticeius humeralis were infected with eimeria spp., which represent 6 new species. sporulated ... | 1999 | 10386443 |
| 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 |
| alphacoronaviruses in new world bats: prevalence, persistence, phylogeny, and potential for interaction with humans. | bats are reservoirs for many different coronaviruses (covs) as well as many other important zoonotic viruses. we sampled feces and/or anal swabs of 1,044 insectivorous bats of 2 families and 17 species from 21 different locations within colorado from 2007 to 2009. we detected alphacoronavirus rna in bats of 4 species: big brown bats (eptesicus fuscus), 10% prevalence; long-legged bats (myotis volans), 8% prevalence; little brown bats (myotis lucifugus), 3% prevalence; and western long-eared bats ... | 2011 | 21589915 |
| prevalence of neutralizing antibodies to rabies virus in serum of seven species of insectivorous bats from colorado and new mexico, united states. | we determined the presence of rabies-virus-neutralizing antibodies (rvna) in serum of 721 insectivorous bats of seven species captured, sampled, and released in colorado and new mexico, united states in 2003-2005. a subsample of 160 bats was tested for rabies-virus rna in saliva. we sampled little brown bats (myotis lucifugus) at two maternity roosts in larimer county, colorado; big brown bats (eptesicus fuscus) at three maternity roosts in morgan county, colorado; and big brown bats at five mat ... | 2013 | 23568912 |
| maseria vespertilionis n.g., n.sp. (dorylaimina : muspiceidae), a nematode from nearctic bats (vespertilionidae). | maseria vespertilionis n. g., n. sp. (dorylaimina : muspiceidae) is described from nearctic bats (vespertilionidae). in addition to the type host, eptesicus fuscus (p. de beauvois), in oregon, m. vespertilionis was recorded from myotis volans (allen) in oregon, and from m. lucifugus (le conte) in oregon and alaska. the nematode was found only in subcutaneous tissues near the plantar surface of the rear feet of the host. the genus maseria is distinguished from other genera in muspiceidae by vario ... | 1983 | 6638790 |
| species of eimeria (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from bats (chiroptera: vespertilionidae) in central wyoming. | feces from 60 bats representing 5 species and 4 genera collected in central wyoming in 2001 were examined for the presence of coccidia. two species of eimeria were identified in 4 bats representing 2 species of myotis. all infected animals harbored a single species; there was no multispecies infection. eimeria catronensis was recovered from 3 little brown bats (myotis lucifugus), and eimeria californicensis was identified from a single long-legged myotis (myotis volans). both represent new geogr ... | 2004 | 15165058 |
| first record of hosts for tick carios kelleyi (acari: ixodida: argasidae) in canada and montana. | i found carios kelleyi cooley & kohls (formerly ornithodoros kelleyi) (acari: ixodida: argasidae) on five species of bats (eptesicusfuscus, myotis lucifugus, myotis ciliolabrum, myotis evotis, and myotis volans) in the prairies of southeastern alberta and north central montana. this is the first occurrence of ticks on bats in canada. this is also the first record of c. kelleyi on m. evotis and m. volans. dates of parasitization ranged from 22 may to 17 october, and the number of ticks per host r ... | 2005 | 15962805 |
| how moths escape bats: predicting outcomes of predator-prey interactions. | what determines whether fleeing prey escape from attacking predators? to answer this question, biologists have developed mathematical models that incorporate attack geometries, pursuit and escape trajectories, and kinematics of predator and prey. these models have rarely been tested using data from actual predator-prey encounters. to address this problem, we recorded multi-camera infrared videography of bat-insect interactions in a large outdoor enclosure. we documented 235 attacks by four myoti ... | 2016 | 27340205 |
