title: [Rabies virus in Nyctinomops laticaudatus bats in the City of Rio de Janeiro: isolation, titration and epidemiology].
abstract: The first case report of rabies in bats of the species Nyctinomops laticaudatus, in the city of Rio de Janeiro City, is presented. Virus isolation and titration were performed in different tissues, and high titers were found in the brain and salivary glands. Rabies occurrence in such an infrequent species in this state suggests that the disease may be more prevalent than it appears to be.
