A two-step metagenomics approach for prey identification from the blood meals of common vampire bats ( <i>Desmodus rotundus</i> )

2021-12-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The feeding behaviour of the sanguivorous common vampire bat ( Desmodus rotundus ) facilitates the transmission of pathogens that can impact both human and animal health. To formulate effective strategies in controlling the spread of diseases, there is a need to obtain information on which animals they feed on. One DNA-based approach, shotgun sequencing, can be used to obtain such information....
