Assessment of sexual dimorphism <i>Desmodus rotundus</i> (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), a rabies reservoir in Latin America

2025-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Morphometric traits of a host have been used recently in disease ecology for a deeper understanding of the connection between phenotype and transmission rates. The common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, is the main reservoir of rabies in Latin America, one of the most lethal zoonotic diseases in the world. Comprehension of morphological variation in D. rotundus is insufficient, contradictory, and inconclusive. D...
