[Isolation of rabies virus from brain, salivary and interscapular glands, heart, lungs and testis of the bat Desmodus rotundus, in the State of São Paulo (author's transl)].
Rabies virus was isolated from the brain, salivary and interscapular (brown fat) glands, heart, lungs and testis of naturally infected vampire bat Desmodus rotundus found paralyzed in the day at Barueri, São Paulo State. The rabies virus isolations were made by intracerebral inoculation in 4-5 days and 30 days old mice. The virus strain was identified as rabies virus by the Sellers and Faraco (Mann) techniques, the fluorescent antibody test and intracerebral inoculation of mice. The isolation of virus from lungs and testis was made only in suckling mice. Only one of eight and two of eight mice inoculated died with rabies.
