Caption:
This 2012 photograph by Daniel Streicker depicts a Peruvian vampire bat colony, which had clustered itself against a cave wall. A recent study entitled, Evidence of Rabies Virus Exposure among Humans in the Peruvian Amazon, strongly suggested that vampire bats had been the source of rabies virus exposure, for two Amazon communities in Peru.
