2. 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

3. Rabies in humans and non-human in the state of Pará, Brazilian Amazon
We evaluate the relationship of positive cases of rabies with the continuing expansion of livestock production, and analyse the trends of this zoonosis in human population in the state of Pará, Brazilian Amazon. The distribution of rabies cases was recorded between 1999 and 2004. Of 148 cases of rabies, 21% were in humans and 79% in non-human mammals. The r

4. 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

5. Paralytic rabies in swine
Rabies transmitted by vampire bats was diagnosed in pigs with paralysis of the pelvic limbs. Diffuse nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis, affecting mainly the spinal cord, was observed histologically. Despite the various diagnosis of rabies in pigs this is the first report of clinical signs and pathology of rabies transmitted by vampire bats.

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. Leptospira spp. and Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in Botucatu region, SP, Brazil
The destruction of natural ecosystems has caused several problems to humans and other animals; herein we investigate the close relationship among vampire bats, humans and domestic animals. Toxoplasma gondii and Leptospira spp. infections are two worldwide zoonoses that provoke serious damage to animals. To determine the prevalence of bats seropositive for to

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. 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

10. A Bayesian approach to estimate the accuracy of "in-house" ELISA assay to measure rabies antibodies from compulsory vaccinated dogs and cattle
Rabies is a vaccine-preventable disease that causes acute encephalitis in mammals, and it is still a significant public health problem in numerous countries. Infected dogs represent the main vectors involved in human rabies. Additionally, cattle rearing close to geographic areas where vampire bats are found presents an important connection with rural epidemi

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. Serological survey for rabies in serum samples from vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in Botucatu region, SP, Brazil
The chiropterans constitute 25% of the world's mammal fauna. Due to the destruction of their natural ecosystem, the vampire bats have moved from nature to artificial roosts closer to man and domestic animals. This phenomenon has happened particularly in rural areas. Rabies is a viral anthropozoonosis, 100% lethal, and vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) represe
