Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of bat rabies (Lyssavirus rabies) transmission is important to prevent rabies spillovers to dead-end hosts, including humans. Here, focusing on the long-distance migratory Brazilian free-tailed bat (\n                    <jats:italic>Tadarida brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) in South America, we identify the extent of host population and rabies virus structure across Chile. The analysis of 112 cytochrome b sequences from\n                    <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    individuals and 144 rabies virus sequences submitted to the Chilean national rabies surveillance showed a lack of geographic clustering by municipality or region in Chile. This lack of clustering suggests that the migratory behavior of this species might be homogenizing the population structure of\n                    <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and its species-specific rabies virus (TbRV-SA). While most rabies virus sequences of\n                    <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (92%) corresponded to the TbRV-SA lineage, we also detected\n                    <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    individuals infected by rabies viruses that are more strongly associated with other bats, including\n                    <jats:italic>Lasiurus spp.<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Histiotus spp.,<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Myotis spp<\/jats:italic>\n                    (8%)\n                    <jats:italic>.<\/jats:italic>\n                    In contrast, no other bat species were infected by TbRV-SA, suggesting the potential for a predominant asymmetric cross-species transmission observed in Chile. These results suggest that rabies risk could vary according to migratory bat movement patterns and community composition, especially in areas where cross-species transmission may be facilitated. Our study highlights the need to anticipate the spillover risk to humans and domestic animals associated with the long-distance spread of rabies virus in\n                    <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and calls attention to clarify the role of urban areas as potential hotspots for cross-species transmission.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0013964","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]],"date-time":"2026-02-19T18:33:01Z","timestamp":1771525981000},"page":"e0013964","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rabies, host population structure, and cross-species transmission to the migratory bat Tadarida brasiliensis in Chile"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1030-3876","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zulma E.","family":"Rojas-Sereno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel G.","family":"Streicker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ver\u00f3nica","family":"Yung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Broos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haris","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Bergner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Lineros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julio A.","family":"Benavides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pntd.0013964.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.3121\/cmr.1.1.5","article-title":"Birds, migration and emerging zoonoses: west nile virus, lyme disease, influenza A and enteropathogens","volume":"1","author":"KD Reed","year":"2003","journal-title":"Clin Med Res"},{"issue":"6015","key":"pntd.0013964.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1194694","article-title":"Animal migration and infectious disease risk","volume":"331","author":"S Altizer","year":"2011","journal-title":"Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"pntd.0013964.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12000","article-title":"Ecology of zoonotic infectious diseases in bats: current knowledge and future directions","volume":"60","author":"DTS Hayman","year":"2013","journal-title":"Zoonoses Public Health"},{"issue":"5","key":"pntd.0013964.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1068","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2656.12204","article-title":"Greater migratory propensity in hosts lowers pathogen transmission and impacts","volume":"83","author":"RJ Hall","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Anim Ecol"},{"issue":"2","key":"pntd.0013964.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"330","DOI":"10.1093\/icb\/icw015","article-title":"Migration, prospecting, dispersal?
