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 uses target enrichment sequencing to assess viral load and diversity in wildlife samples, showing a log-linear relationship between spike-in concentration and read depth.

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.
