13. A Heminested Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Brazilian Rabies Isolates from Vampire Bats and Herbivores
A heminested-PCR (hn-PCR) using primers to the nucleoprotein-coding gene in a nested set was evaluated in the detection of Brazilian strains of rabies virus (RV). A representative number of RV nucleoprotein sequences belonging to genotype 1 were aligned. Based on such alignment, primers were directed to highly conserved regions. All 42 clinical samples posit

14. Behavior of an albino vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy) (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae), in captivity
Albinism in the common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffrey, 1810) was already reported for seven individuals, six of them did in Brazil. Although this species is relatively easy to keep in captivity and many studies with normally pigmented bats were did under laboratory conditions, no reports on detailed observations of captive albino vampire bats wer

15. Comportamento alimentar de morcegos hematogafos ao atacar aves, cabrinos e suinos, em condições de cativeiro
The feeding behavior of vampire bats on birds, caprines and swines under captivity conditions The behavior of vampire bats when feed on chickens, goats and pigs and the effects of bat predation on poultry were studied in two bat houses in Campinas and Botucatu, State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The bat house in Campinas had five flight cages (2 m hig

16. Aspectos do comportamento alimentar das tres especies de morcegos hematofagos (Chiroptera, phyllostomidae)
Some aspects of the morphology and feeding behavior of three species of vampire bats were comparatively studied. Research was undertaken during 1980 and 1981, in three different localities: Fazenda Paraguassu, Município de Santa Gertrudes, interior of São Paulo State; Bairro do Perequê, Município de Ilhabela, on the coast of São Paulo State; Fazenda Par

17. Microbat paraphyly and the convergent evolution of a key innovation in Old World rhinolophoid microbats
Molecular phylogenies challenge the view that bats belong to the superordinal group Archonta, which also includes primates, tree shrews, and flying lemurs. Some molecular studies also challenge microbat monophyly and instead support an alliance between megabats and representative rhinolophoid microbats from the families Rhinolophidae (horseshoe bats, Old Wor

18. Genetic characterization of rabies field isolates from Venezuela.
Twenty samples from cases of rabies in humans and domestic animals diagnosed in Venezuela between 1990 and 1994 and one sample from a vampire bat collected in 1976 were characterized by reactivity to monoclonal antibodies against the viral nucleoprotein and by patterns of nucleotide substitution in the nucleoprotein gene. Three antigenic variants were found:
