Bryan,
Have you done any comparison studies of glycoproteins in Desmodia and Calleoselasma? Are they similiar by the anti-coagulenting actions?
Thanks,
Randal Berry

Now that I have cleared my plate of a slew of other venom studies (lizards, snakes and Antarctic octopuses) I can now turn my attention to the Vampire Bats :) The feeding gland cDNA library is being sequenced now :) :)
Here is a paper though where we did discuss convergence of protein types and actions across the venomous spectra, including Vampire Bats

They are indeed remarkable little creatures. One of my absolute all-time favs of anything I have ever played with. :)

I have a colony of 23, the dominant male in the group will light on my arm or wrist when I go in the exhibit in the a.m. to feed the group, which I use an ice cube tray to hold the blood, he never attempts to bite, but is curious and soon flys up to the top on the exhibit, and waits till I leave and he's the first one down to eat. I have been bitten a few times, but that was when I was catching them up to implant them, and their teeth, are indeed very sharp. I love the way they communicate amongst each other, chirps, squeaks, etc.!
