DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2018.04.006
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bats are known to harbor many zoonotic viruses, some of which are pathogenic to other mammals while they seem to be harmless in bats. As the interferon (IFN) response represents the first line of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216667120
Abstract: Significance Spillover of wildlife viruses causes global health and economic burdens and remains largely unpreventable. Vaccines that disrupt virus transmission within wildlife reservoirs might prevent spillover but face the unresolved challenge of delivering vaccines to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.12891
Abstract: Metabarcoding diet analysis has become a valuable tool in animal ecology; however, co‐amplified predator sequences are not generally used for anything other than to validate predator identity. Exemplified by the common vampire bat, we demonstrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tbed.13754
Abstract: Abstract In the Neotropics, vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are the main reservoir host for rabies, a highly fatal encephalitis caused by viruses in the genus Lyssavirus. Although patterns of rabies virus exposure and infection have… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/v14112318
Abstract: Spatial expansions of vampire bat-transmitted rabies (VBR) are increasing the risk of lethal infections in livestock and humans in Latin America. Identifying the drivers of these expansions could improve current approaches to surveillance and prevention.… read more here.
