Epidemiological Profile of Wild Rabies in Brazil (2002-2012).
TL;DR: The profile of rabies cases documented in Brazil from 2002 to 2012 is described, with emphasis on the wild transmission cycle of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Niche Modeling: An Introduction for Veterinarians and Epidemiologists
TL;DR: This review attempts to increase the use of tools from ecology in disease mapping by examining the effects of biotic variables on model performance, assessments of protocols for model calibration in disease systems, and new tools and metrics for robust model evaluation.

The common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) and the transmission of the rabies virus to livestock: A contact network approach and recommendations for surveillance and control.
TL;DR: A transmission model incorporating geographic and behavioral determinants of the vampire bat was proposed to direct and optimize the epidemiological surveillance and control of livestock rabies and brings light to the importance of phylogenetic studies of bats and rabies virus.

Principles and practical application of the receiver-operating characteristic analysis for diagnostic tests.
TL;DR: The principles and practical application of receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for diagnostic tests, including meta-analysis of diagnostic Tests, correlated ROC curves (paired-sample design) and chance- and prevalence-corrected R OC curves are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Areas beneath the relative operating characteristics (ROC) and relative operating levels (ROL) curves: Statistical significance and interpretation
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the ROC area is equivalent to the Mann-Whitney U-statistic testing the significance of forecast event probabilities for cases where events actually occurred with those where events did not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bats in continuous forest, forest fragments and in an agricultural mosaic habitat-island at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico
TL;DR: In this paper, a tract of continuous forest, forest fragments and a habitat island consisting of a mosaic of forest and arboreal crops in Los Tuxtlas, southern Mexico was sampled with baited pitfall traps to compare species richness and species composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of rabies in the Americas.
TL;DR: The number of human and canine rabies cases in the Americas Region fell by approximately 80% between 1993 and 2002, attributable mainly to the control measures implemented by the countries of the Region, such as the mass vaccination of dogs and prophylactic treatment for people who have been exposed.

Rabies transmitted by vampire bats to humans: an emerging zoonotic disease in Latin America?
Maria Cristina Schneider,Phyllis Catharina Romijn,Wilson Uieda,Hugo Tamayo,Daniela Fernandes da Silva,Albino Belotto,Jarbas Barbosa da Silva,Luis Fernando Leanes +7 more
TL;DR: A comparison of data from field studies conducted in Brazil in 2005 with those from the previous decade suggests similar bat-bite situations at the local level, and possible factors associated with the outbreaks are discussed.
