Rabies virus was detected in bats (Molossus molossus) from an urban area in the City of Recife, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Four individuals were found during the day in visible, non-habitual places, lying on the ground, but still alive. No contact occurred with people or animals. Of these, only two were identified; it was not possible to identify two specimens, since they were incinerated prior to identification. Diagnosis was positive by direct immunofluorescence and intracerebral inoculation in mice. This study presents the first instance in which the virus was detected in insectivorous bats in the State of Pernambuco.
在巴西伯南布哥州累西腓市的一个城区，蝙蝠（Molossus molossus）中检测到了狂犬病病毒。在白天，人们在显眼的非习惯性地方发现了四只蝙蝠，它们躺在地上，但仍活着。这些蝙蝠没有与人和动物接触。其中只有两只被识别出来；另外两只蝙蝠由于在识别之前就被焚烧，所以无法识别。通过直接免疫荧光和小鼠脑内接种，诊断结果为阳性。本研究首次在伯南布哥州的食虫蝙蝠中检测到了这种病毒。
