Longitudinal impacts of habitat fragmentation on <i>Bartonella</i> and hemotropic <i>Mycoplasma</i> dynamics in vampire bats

2025-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Habitat fragmentation can have negative impacts on wildlife including increased risk of infectious disease. To assess spatiotemporal changes in pathogen dynamics in vampire bats ( Desmodus rotundus ) in response to habitat fragmentation, we used general linear mixed models to investigate the influence of site, year, and tree cover on the prevalence of Bartonella and hemotropic Mycoplasma (hemoplasma) in bats in...
