| endemic circulation of european bat lyssavirus type 1 in serotine bats, spain. | to determine the presence of european bat lyssavirus type 1 in southern spain, we studied 19 colonies of serotine bats (eptesicus isabellinus), its main reservoir, during 1998-2003. viral genome and antibodies were detected in healthy bats, which suggests subclinical infection. the different temporal patterns of circulation found in each colony indicate independent endemic circulation. | 2008 | 18680651 |
| assessing survival in a multi-population system: a case study on bat populations. | in long-lived animals, adult survival is among the most important determinants of population dynamics. although it may show considerable variation both in time and among populations and sites, a single survival estimate per species is often used in comparative evolutionary studies or in conservation management to identify threatened populations. we estimated adult survival of the isabelline serotine bat eptesicus isabellinus using capture-recapture data collected on six maternity colonies scatte ... | 2011 | 20852896 |

| 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 |
| first cases of european bat lyssavirus type 1 in iberian serotine bats: implications for the molecular epidemiology of bat rabies in europe. | previous studies have shown that eblv-1 strains exclusively hosted by eptesicus isabellinus bats in the iberian peninsula cluster in a specific monophyletic group that is related to the eblv-1b lineage found in the rest of europe. more recently, enhanced passive surveillance has allowed the detection of the first eblv-1 strains associated to eptesicus serotinus south of the pyrenees. the aim of this study is the reconstruction of the eblv-1 phylogeny and phylodynamics in the iberian peninsula in ... | 2018 | 29684025 |
| bat rabies surveillance in europe. | rabies is the oldest known zoonotic disease and was also the first recognized bat associated infection in humans. to date, four different lyssavirus species are the causative agents of rabies in european bats: the european bat lyssaviruses type 1 and 2 (eblv-1, eblv-2), the recently discovered putative new lyssavirus species bokeloh bat lyssavirus (bblv) and the west caucasian bat virus (wcbv). unlike in the new world, bat rabies cases in europe are comparatively less frequent, possibly as a res ... | 2013 | 22963584 |
| non-invasive monitoring of stress hormones in the bat eptesicus isabellinus - do fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations correlate with survival? | chronic stress may negatively impact fitness and survival in wildlife. stress hormone analysis from feces is a non-invasive tool for identifying stressors and deducing about individual and population level fitness. although many bat populations are endangered, fecal stress hormone analysis has not been established in bats as a method for focusing conservation efforts. the isabelline serotine bat, eptesicus isabellinus, is exposed to human disturbance as its roosts are mostly found in anthropogen ... | 2016 | 26673871 |
| complete genomic sequence of european bat lyssavirus 1, isolated from eptesicus isabellinus in spain. | all members of the lyssavirus genus cause the disease rabies. european bat lyssavirus 1 (eblv-1) viruses are divided genetically into three groups according to geographic location and host reservoir. we report here the first genome sequence for an eblv-1 isolated from eptesiscus isabellinus in the iberian peninsula, spain. | 2015 | 25676752 |
| phylogeny of european bat lyssavirus 1 in eptesicus isabellinus bats, spain. | to better understand the epidemiology of european bat lyssavirus 1 (eblv-1) in europe, we phylogenetically characterized lyssavirus from eptesicus isabellinus bats in spain. an independent cluster of eblv-1 possibly resulted from geographic isolation and association with a different reservoir from other european strains. eblv-1 phylogeny is complex and probably associated with host evolutionary history. | 2011 | 21392449 |
| 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 |
