“…Similarly, Taddei et al (1991) reported that D. rotundus bat is highly dependent on artificial structures, which are used in more than 90% of cases in northwestern São Paulo. Albas et al (2011) carried out a study in the western São Paulo State and observed 16 artificial bat roosts, 50% of which were abandoned houses, similar to the results recorded in the Andradina region. The Western Plateau characterizes the western and northwestern regions, where the Andradina microregion is located.…”

Article history The present study quantified Desmodus rotundus population and characterized their roosts in the Andradina microregion, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2010 and 2012, determining the effect of bat control measures on roost numbers and types and their population. From April to June 2010, professionals from the Agriculture and Livestock Defense Coordination of the State of Sao Paulo responsible for the rabies control that consists of capturing and treating vampire bats with a vampiricide paste based on Warfarin 2%, inspected 50 bat roosts registered in 12 municipalities in the Andradina microregion, northwestern São Paulo. In September 2012, 31 of these roosts were again surveyed by the authors of this study. The vast majority (92% and 96% in 2010 and 2012, respectively) of the roosts were characterized as artificial, e.g., abandoned houses and warehouses, house attics, culverts under highways, deactivated wells and mills, bridges, disused housings, and barns. The only natural roosts found were tree hollows. The number of roosts and the bat population in roosts decreased drastically after the measures for direct control of hematophagous bats were performed, especially the number of maternity colonies, indicating that the direct selective method had a strong impact on reducing these populations.

“…In a study conducted by Albas et al 30 on the prevalence of rabies virus in the studied region in the State of São Paulo from 1996 to 2003, 58 (78.4%) of the 74 positive samples were isolated from non-haematophagous bats. This fact can be attributed to the results obtained by the Rabies Herbivorous Control Program (PNCRH) in Brazil 31 .…”

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 of non-haematophagous bats can be infected and can transmit the virus. Methods: The aim of this work was to study the epidemiological pattern of rabies using antigenic characterization with monoclonal antibodies and genetic characterization by reversetranscriptase polymerase chain reaction followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of non-haematophagous bats' and herbivorous animals' central nervous system samples from the western region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: From 27 samples, 3 antigenic variants were identified: AgV-3, AgV-4, and AgV-6; and from 29 samples, 5 different clusters were identified, all belonging to the rabies virus species. Conclusions: Although only nonhaematophagous bats were evaluated in the studied region, the majority of samples were from antigenic and genetic variants related to haematophagous bats Desmodus rotundus. Samples from the same antigenic variant were segregated in more than one genetic cluster. This study demonstrated the diversity of rabies virus genetic lineages presented and circulating in nonhaematophagous bats in the studied region.

“…This result shows low circulation of the rabies virus in bats D. rotundus, but does not rule out the presence of the virus in other species of bats. In the state of São Paulo Albas et al (2011) observed the presence of rabies virus in species of non-hematophagous bats belonging to the families Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae, reinforcing the idea that the virus may be disseminated between non-hematophagous bats and hematophagous, considering that they may cohabit close environments.…”

Rabies is a zoonosis of great importance for human and animal health, being responsible for a progressive and acute encephalitis in humans and animals. Considering that the correct viral identification has serious implications for the prophylaxis and treatment, is important a diagnostic system specifically designed for monitoring the infection cases. The objective of the study was to describe the occurrence of rabies in hematophagous bats (Desmodus rotundus) analyzing many diagnoses performed in the state of Sergipe. The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of rabies in hematophagous bats (Desmodus rotundus) from an analysis of the diagnoses performed in the state of Sergipe. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted with the evaluation of 935 rabies diagnoses in bats (D. rotundus) between 1987 and 2014. It was noticed that only one case was positive in the city of Aracaju in the year 2000 and no positive bat was identified with the rabies virus in the rural area. The results show the need to increase the monitoring of rabies in other species of non-hematophagous bats, and especially in other wild reservoirs. It is suggested that the monitoring of rabies take into account the specific ecosystem of each region, since Brazil has continental dimensions and a great biological diversity.
