The methodology used for this control mainly includes the elimination of individuals or colonies of D. rotundus by the use of anticoagulant substances applied directly to sores produced by these animals in herbivores, or on the back of bats captured in shelters or in nets placed around the corrals. Besides this direct measure, the control of these bats populations also involves the registration and monitoring of shelters, the bites rate control in cattle and other herbivores in the properties and the send of specimens to the laboratory for the search of rabies virus. The aim of this study was to characterize the shelters and quantify the population of D. rotundus, in the region Andradina, São Paulo State, in the period from 2010 to 2012, in order to evaluate the effects of the actions adopted for control of bats, with the developing a critique of the method and propose actions to be forwarded to the National Program for Control of Herbivores Rabies of the Agriculture Ministry, hoping to improve knowledge of environmental impacts caused by the control, the impacts of the removal of bats for animal communities, and the transmission of rabies. Fifty shelters for bats registered by CDA and distributed in 12 municipalities were visited during the period from April to June 2010 and bats captured were treated with paste-based Warfarine. Thirty-one of them were re-inspected in September 2012. Most of the shelters, registered in the region, are artificial, corresponding to 92% and 97% of the total found in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Regarding the type of shelters, empty houses, sewers or tunnels under highways, tree holes, abandoned wells, bridges...

Resumo:controle das populações de morcegos hematófagos Desmodus rotundus é uma das medidas incluídas no Programa Nacional de Controle da Raiva dos Herbívoros do Ministério da Agricultura, que envolvem ainda vacinação dos animais, vigilância epidemiológica e educação sanitária. A metodologia utilizada para este controle inclui principalmente a eliminação de indivíduos ou de colônias de D. rotundus por meio do uso de substâncias anticoagulantes aplicadas diretamente sobre as feridas produzidas por estes animais em herbívoros ou sobre o dorso de morcegos capturados nos abrigos ou em redes armadas ao redor dos currais. Além desta medida direta, o controle das populações destes morcegos também envolve o cadastramento e monitoramento de abrigos, o controle de taxa de mordedura em bovinos e outros herbívoros nas propriedades e o envio de espécimes ao laboratório para pesquisa de vírus da raiva. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar os abrigos e quantificar a população de D. rotundus na região de Andradina, SP, no período de 2010 a 2012, com vistas a avaliar os efeitos da ação de controle dos morcegos, com a elaboração de uma crítica ao método, e a proposição de ações, a ser encaminhada ao Programa Nacional de Controle da Raiva dos Herbívoros do Ministério da Agricultura, na expectativa de melhorar os conhecimentos dos impactos ambientais causados pelo controle, dos impactos da eliminação dos morcegos para as comunidades animais, e para a transmissão da raiva. Cinquenta abrigos de morcegos cadastrados pela CDA e distribuídos em 12 municípios foram visitados durante o período de abril a junho de 2010 e os morcegos capturados foram tratados com pasta vampiricida à base de Warfarina 2%. Trinta e um deles foram novamente vistoriados no mês de setembro de 2012. A grande maioria dos abrigos, cadastrados na região, são artificiais, correspondendo...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletronico abaixo) / Abstract:The control of the Desmodus rotundus bats populations is one of the measures included in the National Program of Herbivores Rabies Control of the Agriculture Ministry, which also includes vaccination of animals, epidemiological surveillance and health education.
