title: Extended incubation period of rabies virus in a captive big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus).
abstract: Rabies virus incubation in bats is typically less than 180 days, yet longer incubation periods have been described. We report a 267-day incubation in a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) exposed to rabies virus before entering our captive colony.
