Updated list of bat species positive for rabies in Brazil.
This paper presents an updated list of bat species positive for rabies in Brazil. It was developed based on database research via the internet, of international and national literature and annals of the most important technical and scientific meetings related to rabies and chiroptera in Brazil from 1996 to 2009. The new list of rabies positive bats consists of 41 species, belonging to 25 genera...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiological analysis of bat rabies viruses in Brazil.
A molecular epidemiological analysis was performed in 19 rabies viruses (RVs) isolated from haematophagous, frugivorous and insectivorous bats, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The authors carried out RT-PCR for amplification of the RV nucleoprotein (N) gene, and determined 1,335 nucleotide sequences of N gene by direct sequencing method. Phylogenetic analysis, which was based on the N gene of Brazilian R...
متن کاملGeographical distribution of vampire bat-related cattle rabies in Brazil.
Seventy-seven rabies virus (RV) isolates originating from Brazilian cattle were genetically characterized. Partial nucleoprotein gene sequences of these isolates were phylogenetically and geographically analyzed. Cattle isolates, which clustered with the vampire bat-related RV group, were further subdivided into nine genetic subgroups. These subgroups were distributed widely in lowland regions,...
متن کاملRabies in the insectivorous bat Tadarida brasiliensis in southeastern Brazil.
This is the first recorded case of rabies in the insectivorous bat Tadarida brasiliensis in the State of S. Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. The infected bat was found in the afternoon while hanging on the internal wall of an urban building. This observation reinforces the notion as to the caution one must exercise regarding bats found in unusual situations.
متن کاملDNA Barcoding Facilitates Bat Species Identification for Improved Surveillance of Bat-associated Rabies across Canada
For many families within the animal kingdom, DNA barcoding has proven to be a valuable tool for confirmation of species identification and it will be increasingly used to identify the reservoir hosts of zoonotic diseases. Rabies is a fatal disease that can be transmitted to virtually all mammalian species but the etiological agent, rabies virus, is maintained in particular host reservoirs compr...
