| Bovine rabies is still considered endemic in Brazil and despite the control efforts, the disease still spreads in an insidious way and the main vector is the vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus. This project aimed to create a predictive model to estimate the probability of bovine rabies outbreaks in each municipality of 21 out of 27 Brazilian States. The risk was estimated using concepts of receptivity and vulnerability. Questionnaires were sent to the Local Veterinary Units of each State and covered a number of questions related to the surveillance of possible risks, such as: bovine outbreaks, active roosts, bats positivity and spatial changes. The bovine density and geomorphologic features were obtained from national registries and geographic information... |

| Bats are less vulnerable to forest fragmentation than any other mammal, and for that reason, some species can disperse to peri-urban or urban areas. Insectivore bats are abundant in urban areas due to the density of artificial roosts and insects attracted by city lights. Inter-species transmission of the rabies virus between bats can occur, and this is the most probable mechanism of virus circulation in bat populations. Bats can also transmit the rabies virus to other mammal species, like dogs and cats. With the halt of vaccination campaigns of dogs and cats in 2010, the importance of rabies surveillance in bats has increased in Brazil. In Campinas, Sao Paulo State, a passive surveillance system for bats was implemented in 1994 and rabies-positive bats... |
