[Antigen profile of rabies virus isolated from different species of non-hematophagous bats in the region of Presidente Prudente, State of São Paulo].
Using the monoclonal antibody technique, the Clinical and Molecular Virology Laboratory of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo typed 18 rabies virus samples from non-hematophagous bats of several species from the region of Presidente Prudente, SP, Brazil. Among these samples, 15 (82.3%) were defined as variant 3 (compatible with samples isolated from Desmodus rotundus bats) and three (16.7%) as variant 4 (compatible with samples isolated from Tadarida brasiliensis bats).
