1. Short interfering RNAs targeting a vampire-bat related rabies virus phosphoprotein mRNA
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro and in vivo effects of short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against rabies virus phosphoprotein (P) mRNA in a post-infection treatment for rabies as an extension of a previous report (Braz J Microbiol. 2013 Nov 15;44(3):879-82). To this end, rabies virus strain RABV-4005 (related to the Desmodus rotundus v

2. Evaluation of short-interfering RNAs treatment in experimental rabies due to wild-type virus
ABSTRACTWe have evaluated the efficacy of short-interfering RNAs targeting the nucleoprotein gene and also the brain immune response in treated and non-treated infected mice. Mice were inoculated with wild-type virus, classified as dog (hv2) or vampire bat (hv3) variants and both groups were treated or leaved as controls. No difference was observed in the le

3. Rabies surveillance in bats in Northwestern State of São Paulo
Introduction Rabies is an important zoonosis that occurs in mammals, with bats acting as Lyssavirus reservoirs in urban, rural and natural areas. Rabies cases in bats have been recorded primarily in urban areas in Northwestern State of São Paulo

4. Multiple lesions by vampire bat bites in a patient in Niterói, Brazil - Case report
Over the last few centuries, the expansion of urbanization brought bats closer to urbanized areas, increasing the risk of accidents by bat bites. The morphology of bat bites can be varied, usually having an elliptical shape, about 0.5 cm along its greatest length, and the characteristic corkscrew bite pattern. The authors present the case of a patient who wa

5. Desmodus rotundus and Artibeus spp. bats might present distinct rabies virus lineages
In Brazil, bats have been assigned an increasing importance in public health as they are important rabies reservoirs. Phylogenetic studies have shown that rabies virus (RABV) strains from frugivorous bats Artibeus spp. are closely associated to those from the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus, but little is known about the molecular diversity of RABV in Artibeus

6. Descriptive ecology of bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) associated with vampire bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in the cerrado of Central Brazil
We studied the ectoparasitic bat flies of three phyllostomid vampire bat species. Bats were collected monthly from April 2004-March 2005 in caves within the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area in the Federal District of Brazil. A total of 1,259 specimens from six species in the Streblidae family were collected from 332 bats. High host affinity from the s

7. Avaliação do Vampiricida Gel 1% no controle seletivo direto de colônias de Desmodus rotundus / Evaluation of 1-percent Vampiricid Gel in direct selective control of Desmodus rotundus colonies
The National Program on Control of Herbivore Rabies (PNCRH) concentrates its actions on population control of the diseases main transmitter, the vampire bat of the Desmodus rotundus species, and favors the use of direct and indirect selective methods. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the VAMPIRICID GEL for direct selective control of D. rot

8. Profilaxia e controle da raiva dos herbívoros domésticos no Estado de São Paulo, Sudeste do Brasil, no período de 1997 - 2007 / Prophylaxis and control of paralytic rabies of the domestic herbivores in the State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, period of 1997-2007
In the State of São Paulo, the Coordenadoria de Defesa Agropecuária-CDA, an administrative unit directly subordinated to the State Secretary of Agriculture was established in 1998. Subsequently, the frequent outbreaks of paralytic rabies in herbivores in Eastern part of the State, including the region of Vale do Paraiba and the Greater São Paulo, between

9. The Wolf and the Bat The Popular Culture and the English Imaginary of XIX Century / O Lobo e o Morcego: A cultura popular e o imaginário inglês do século XIX
This thesis was written to uncover the process were a cultural symbol of a political oppressed people gets in possession of their oppressors, is modified, inserted in their literary imaginary, and then used by the neocolonialist ideology to disqualify the oppressed people‟s culture. The vampire, in popular culture, represents the supreme evil, for them

10. A coronavirus detected in the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus
This article reports on the identification of a group 2 coronavirus (BatCoV DR/2007) in a Desmodus rotundus vampire bat in Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis of ORF1b revealed that BatCoV DR/2007 originates from a unique lineage in the archetypical group 2 coronaviruses, as described for bat species elsewhere with putative importance in Public Health.

11. Bats and their role in human rabies epidemiology in the Americas
Bats are very interesting animals: they are the unique flying mammals, have developed a highly sophisticated echolocation system, and have become specialized to eat different types of diets. Hematophagous (vampire) bats are those specialized to feed solely on blood and have served as a source of inspiration for researchers as well as for writers. Vampire bat

12. Filogeografia intraespecífica do morcego hematófago Desmodus rotundus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidade) / Phylogeography and systematics of vampire bat Desmodus rotundus (Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae)
O morcego Desmodus rotundus é uma das três espécies de morcegos hematófagos existentes. Possui ampla distribuição, ocorrendo do sul do México até Argentina e Chile. Além de seu hábito alimentar incomum, esta espécie possui particular interesse por ser transmissor da raiva bovina. Apesar dos métodos de controle da população, estudos estimaram em
