Grant

rabies
project
By TIFFANY STEVENS
The Red & Black
University researchers
studying vampire bats
don’t fear for loss of blood.
Sonia Altizer, associate
professor at the University
School of Ecology, and
Daniel Streicker, a doctor
al student at the school of
ecology, are researching
rabies transmission among
vampire bats in Peru.
The team hopes the
research will lead to pre
dicting, and eventually
preventing, rabies out
breaks among cattle and
humans.
"There have been recent
outbreaks of rabies in
Peru,” Streicker said.
“Vampire bats have start
ed feeding on people, and
that’s contributing to
rabies spread.”
The team was recently
awarded a $580,000 grant,
allowing the group three
more years to develop its
research.
Altizer said the majori
ty of their research focuses
on how deforestation and
increased human and cat
tle populations can cause
vampire bat colonies to
react.
“The expectation is
that more cattle means
more food for the bats,

▲ Ph.D. student Daniel Streicker Is studying
vampire bats to learn about the transmission of
rabies. He said the project will expand soon.
increasing their birth rate
and overall numbers, and
possibly increasing the
transmission of rabies
between the bats,” she
said. “This is important
because throughout Latin
America, natural forests
are being converted into
rangelands for farming
and livestock at a fast
rate.”
Streicker said vampire
bats tend to be opportu
nistic, meaning they will
likely feed on food sources
that are most readily avail
able.
Lack of cattle in villages
can sometimes lead to
outbreaks among humans,
he said.
“In a city called Madre
de Dios in northern Peru,
we’ve been studying out
breaks of rabies,” he said.
“We’ve found that they’ve
been gold-mining there,
and that involves a lot of
deforestation.
“The deforestation is, of
course, going to affect the
natural wildlife in the area,
and the people there are
only coming in for gold
mining, so they're not
bringing in livestock. So
the bats are turning to the
people as a source of
food.”
Though the team hopes
their research will eventu
ally lead to preventing
rabies, Streicker said edu
cational efforts can some
times be difficult.
“We’ve been conducting
surveys among people to
see what they know about
bats, whether they know
you can contract rabies
and what their experienc
es have been with bats,”
he said. “Some people are
putting down that you can
get malaria, which you
can’t get from bat bites.

CRIME NOTEBOOK
University student
Hyuqjae Shin, 20, was
booked in Athens-Clarke
County Jail Wednesday at
4:14 p.m., according to
ACC booking logs.
Shin, who told police
he was the victim of an
armed robbery on
Saturday, is now facing
charges of filing a false
report of a crime.
Several statements
made during interviews
with Shin after he filed
the police report did not
match up with what Shin
had previously told
police, University Police
Chief Jimmy Williamson
said.
Police also interviewed
some of Shin's friends
and got conflicting infor
mation.
For example,
Williamson said Shin told
police he could not deter
mine the race of his
attacker; however, he dis
closed a race to his
friends.
Williamson also said
run into is in some areas,
people cure resistant to
vaccination, because of
religious reasons. They
don’t trust the medicine."
In Madre de Dios,
Streicker said educating
people about bat bites is
near impossible. The gold
mining nature of the town
leads to a high turnover of
people.
“They’re only there for
a few months or a year,
and so it’s hard to push
education,” he said.
Though the team’s
research may be highly
useful in Peru, Altizer said
not many of the findings
are applicable in Georgia.
However, she said some
of the general ideas, such
as how humans affect food
sources and spread of dis
ease, might be transfer
able.
“One analogy relates to
supplemental feeding sta
tions for wild birds,” she
said. “When people put up
bird feeders, does that
cause the birds to aggre
gate in ways that increase
the transmission of song
bird diseases?”
Streicker said his team
aims —with the help of
the recently acquired
grant to expand the
project and bring in more
student researchers soon.
“Next spring we are
going to be starting with a
master’s student, but
that’s a student from Peru
that we’ve recruited for
the master’s program at
UGA,” he said. “It’s some
thing I want to screen
people for, though, because
it can be harsh work. Often
we’re working with bats
and we stay up all night
and don’t get a lot of sleep
during the day. But it’s
rewarding work and has a
lot of useful applications.”

Police Documents
Shin told police he filed
the report because he felt
like it would make him
more accepted among his
friends.
In a previous article in
The Red & Black, Shin
said he was actually
robbed, despite the false
report charges.
Shin said he was con
fused during police inter
views and did not under
stand English well
enough to know what was
going on.
However, Williamson
said after reviewing tapes
of the interviews, it
seemed Shin was compre
hending.
“It was pretty clear
that he seemed to under
stand," Williamson told
The Red & Black
Thursday.
