Hearing in American leaf-nosed bats. IV: the Common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus.
We behaviorally determined the audiograms of three Common vampire bats (Phyllostomidae, Desmodus rotundus), a species specialized to exist exclusively on blood. The bats were trained to respond to pure tones in a conditioned suppression/avoidance procedure for a blood reward and a mild punisher for failures to detect the tones. Common vampire bats have a hearing range from 716 Hz to 113 kHz at ...
متن کاملMicrosatellites loci reveal heterozygosis and population structure in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) of Mexico.
A limited number of studies have focused on the population genetic structure of vampire bats (Desmous rotundus) in America. This medium-sized bat is distributed in tropical areas of the continent with high prevalence in forested livestock areas. The aim of this work was to characterize the vampire population structure and their genetic differentiation. For this, we followed standard methods by ...
متن کاملExperimental rabies infection and oral vaccination in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus).
A rabies virus variant isolated from a vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) and characterized by genome sequencing was used for the standardization of an experimental infection in this species. The parenteral administration of 10(6) MICLD50 of this variant was capable of inducing death from rabies in 89% of animals. The mean duration of post-challenge survival was 12 days. None of the experimental r...
متن کاملSocial grooming in the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus
Grooming patterns among 65 common vampire bats in hollow tree day roosts were studied by behavioural sampling techniques during a 15-month period. Self-grooming occurred more than social grooming in response to ectoparasites since the proportion of time spent self-grooming and the amount of ectoparasite infestation covaried positively among tree roosts, while the time spent grooming others was ...
متن کاملA 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.
