Opossums are considered resistant to rabies. Nonhematophagous bats are reservoirs of rabies in urban areas of South America. We analyzed bats and opossums tested for rabies during 2021 in a highly urbanized city in Brazil to understand spillover in an urban setting. Wildlife surveillance is necessary to prevent rabies in humans and domestic animals.
负鼠被认为不易感染狂犬病。在南美洲的城市地区,非吸血蝙蝠是狂犬病的宿主。我们分析了 2021 年在巴西一个高度城市化的城市中检测狂犬病的蝙蝠和负鼠,以了解在城市环境中的溢出情况。野生动物监测对于预防人类和家畜的狂犬病至关重要。
