This study compares disease outcomes in bats and rodents after viral infections, finding no significant difference in disease severity or mortality between the two groups.

This study tracks vampire bat movement in response to human disturbance, finding rapid roost switching and altered flight patterns that may influence rabies spread.

The paper analyzes DrBHV diversity across Latin America and the Caribbean, showing widespread co-infection and geographic spread, suggesting vaccine vectors could be locally sourced.

This study identifies H5 influenza virus infections in vampire bats, showing their potential to spread the virus between marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

The paper integrates ecological data and mechanistic modeling to show that mating behavior and maternal immunity drive EBLV-2 dynamics in bats, with limited population impact.

This paper develops an optimized topical gel for rabies vaccine delivery to vampire bats, showing high colony uptake and stability under various temperatures.

The paper identifies six divergent morbilliviruses in Neotropical bats and NHPs, showing their role in evolutionary diversification and potential zoonotic risk.

The paper uses longitudinal data and a cull event to show vampire bats maintain influenza virus independently of fruit bats and that culling reduces transmission.

The paper investigates gene flow between mainland and island vampire bat populations in Trinidad, finding genetic distinctness and male-biased gene flow, with implications for rabies virus spread.

This study uses a two-step metagenomic approach to accurately identify prey from common vampire bat blood meals using shotgun sequencing and validates results with metabarcoding.
