Resumo
Rabies is an infectious disease responsible for great economical losses and a serious case of public health. Nonhematophagous
bats have important roles in the transmission of the rabies, although their participation
has received low attention due to the low economical and medical-sanitary impact caused by them. This
study presents the isolation of the rabies virus in the short-tailed fruit bat Carollia perspicillata in
Niquelândia, Goiás state, Brazil. The laboratorial diagnosis was accomplished by direct
immunofluorescense and intra-cerebral inoculation in mice. The bat was captured in a bat survey in the
region and did not present symptomatic characteristics for the disease. The report points for the need of a
program of animal sanity that prioritizes the prevention and for attention in the handling of bats for lay
and professionals.
