Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal patterns of vampire bat rabies and host connectivity in Belize
Daniel J. Becker,Daniel J. Becker,Alice Broos,Laura M. Bergner,Diana K. Meza,Nancy B. Simmons,M. Brock Fenton,Sonia Altizer,Daniel G. Streicker,Daniel G. Streicker +9 more
TL;DR: The analyses suggest frequent transmission of rabies virus within and among vampire bat roosts in northern Belize and highlight the need for future spatiotemporal, phylogenetic and ecological studies of vampire bat rabies in Central America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and biology of a herpesvirus in rabies endemic vampire bat populations.
Megan E Griffiths,Laura M. Bergner,Alice Broos,Diana K. Meza,Ana da Silva Filipe,Andrew J. Davison,Carlos Tello,Daniel J. Becker,Daniel G. Streicker +8 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the biological and epidemiological suitability of a vampire bat betaherpesvirus (DrBHV) to act as a vaccine vector for a transmissible rabies vaccine, and provides a framework to discover and evaluate candidate viral vectors for vaccines against bat-borne zoonoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the presence and titre of rabies virus-neutralizing antibodies from low-volume serum samples in low-containment facilities.
Diana K. Meza,Alice Broos,Daniel J. Becker,Abdelkader Behdenna,Brian J. Willett,Mafalda Viana,Daniel G. Streicker +6 more
TL;DR: An existing micro-neutralization test is adapted to use a green fluorescent protein-tagged murine leukemia virus pseudotype in lieu of pathogenic rabies virus, reducing the need for specialized reagents for antigen detection and enabling use in low-containment laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological determinants of rabies virus dynamics in vampire bats and spillover to livestock
Diana K. Meza,Nardus Mollentze,Alice Broos,Carlos Tello,William Buitrago Valderrama,Sergio Recuenco,Jorge Carrera,Carlos Shiva,Néstor Falcón,Mafalda Viana,Daniel G. Streicker +10 more
TL;DR: This article studied patterns of rabies exposure using an 11-year, spatially replicated sero-survey of 3709 Peruvian vampire bats and co-occurring outbreaks in livestock.

Predicting the presence and titer of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies from low-volume serum samples in low-containment facilities

TL;DR: An existing micro-neutralization test is adapted to use a green fluorescent protein–tagged murine leukemia virus pseudotype in lieu of pathogenic rabies virus, reducing the need for specialized reagents for antigen detection and enabling use in low-containment laboratories.
