Article Synopsis
  • The paper is the first to report rabies in three bat species (Molossus molossus, Molossops neglectus, and Myotis riparius) from São Paulo, Brazil.
  • Bats were diagnosed using tests including the fluorescent antibody test and their genetic and antigenic profiles were analyzed through monoclonal antibodies and DNA sequencing.
  • Findings showed that M. molossus had a specific antigenic variant, while the other two bat species displayed unique profiles not previously documented, highlighting the need for more research on urban wildlife rabies cases.
