Experimental 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 کاملHematologic profile of hematophagous Desmodus rotundus bats before and after experimental infection with rabies virus.
INTRODUCTION Hematophagous Desmodus rotundus bats play an important role in the rabies lifecycle. This study describes the hematological profile of these bats before and after experimental infection with rabies virus. METHODS Cells counts were performed in a Neubauer chamber. RESULTS The average values of erythrocytes and leucocytes counts in blood before experimental infections were 9.97 ×...
متن کاملDesmodus 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 spp. The N and G genes of RABV isola...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of rabies virus isolated from non- haematophagous bats in Brazil Caracterização molecular do vírus da raiva isolado de morcegos não-hematófagos no Brasil
Introduction: Rabies is an important zoonosis that causes thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Although the terrestrial cycle, mainly transmitted by dogs, is controlled in Brazil, the aerial cycle remains a serious public health issue, besides the economic problem. In the aerial cycle, the haematophagous bat Desmodus rotundus is the main source of infection, where several different species ...
متن کاملRabies Virus Related to Vampire Bats (Desmodus rotundus) Isolated from a Crab-Eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous) in Southeast Brazil
In this study, rabies virus was isolated from a naturally infected crab-eating fox [Cerdocyon thous] in a rural area of São Paulo State, Brazil. The sample was positive for the standard techniques used for rabies diagnosis. The isolate was antigenically characterized using anti-nucleoprotein monoclonal antibodies. Studies on molecular epidemiology by patterns of nucleotide substitution in the n...
