Materials and Methods: This spatial analysis sought to develop a predictive data-driven model, with information obtained from the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA). Predictive identification of VBR hotspots of transmission risk within Colombia was made by incorporating VBR epidemiological data with fine-scale environmental and landscape variables. Results: This study identified major patterns of the current geographic risk of VBR in Colombia. Areas of VBR spillover risk were associated with distance to forested area, climate, and high cattle density in the Caribbean and Andean regions. 87.1% of Colombia could be identified as \u201cat risk\u201d to VBR spillover based. That is, the majority of the country has conditions for VBR spillover risk similar to others sites were VBR spillover to livestock has occurred in the past. 88 municipalities were identified as being at high risk for VBR spillover (spillover risk \u22650.70). Though vaccination efforts have increased across Colombia recently, the available data did not allow a robust evaluation of the impacts of cattle vaccination over the frequency and size of VBR outbreaks in the majority of the country. More years of vaccination data are needed for an accurate evaluation of the rabies vaccination program in cattle in Colombia. Conclusions: This study provides a refined VBR transmission-risk map, which reveals key geographic to be prioritized for VBR control<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21897\/rmvz.3720","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,24]],"date-time":"2026-03-24T15:22:49Z","timestamp":1774365769000},"page":"e3720","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Estimates of rabies risk from vampire bats to livestock in Colombia","Estimaci\u00f3n del riesgo de contagio de rabia de murci\u00e9lagos vampiros al ganado en Colombia"],"prefix":"10.21897","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7388-4033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea Tatiana","family":"Medina-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05h3y9565","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4190-8253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9s Felipe","family":"Osejo-Varona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05h3y9565","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9910-877X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaime","family":"Unriza-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Planificaci\u00f3n Agropecuaria (UPRA)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0451-6368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Soler-Tovar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05c99rg80","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Universidad La Salle"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1030-3876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zulma","family":"Rojas-Sereno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01qq57711","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Andr\u00e9s Bello University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5735-2750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis E.","family":"Escobar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02smfhw86","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Virginia Tech"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4221-6881","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paige","family":"Van de Vuurst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02smfhw86","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Virginia Tech"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"9361","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"120451","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Johnson N, Ar\u00e9chiga-Ceballos N, Aguilar-Setien A.
