Defining new pathways to manage the ongoing emergence of bat rabies in Latin America
Rabies transmitted by common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) has been known since
the early 1900s but continues to expand geographically and in the range of species and …

Gene losses in the common vampire bat illuminate molecular adaptations to blood feeding
Vampire bats are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. To uncover genomic
changes associated with this dietary adaptation, we generated a haplotype-resolved …

Prey preference of the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus, Chiroptera) using molecular analysis
Morphological identification of prey fragments in vampire bat feces is impossible because of
an exclusively blood-based diet. Therefore, studies of their foraging ecology require …

Host Preference of the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus; Chiroptera) Assessed by Stable Isotopes
CC Voigt, DH Kelm - Journal of Mammalogy, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We examined the host selection of common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) with stable
carbon isotopes in an area that offered 2 isotopically contrasting food sources, either …

Vampire bats rapidly fuel running with essential or non-essential amino acids from a blood meal
In most mammals, running is fuelled by oxidization of endogenous carbohydrates and lipids
while amino acids contribute little (< 5–10%). Common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) …
