To the authors' knowledge, this is the first such case in Latin America. After discovering a bat in his garden at 10 o'clock in the morning, a resident of Ubatuba municipality asked the Zoonosis Control Center team to visit his home. The animal was caught alive on the same day and sent to the Pasteur Institute laboratory, where it was identified as a Desmodus rotundus specimen. Standard tests for rabies diagnosis were carried out (direct immunofluorescence and viral isolation), and the results were positive. The presence of different species of (primarily insectivorous) bats in urban areas represents a serious public health problem. This case, however, is indicative of a much greater risk because the species in question has hematophagous habits, what means this animals has a low energy reserves and, therefore, its need to feed daily.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652007000600010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,19]],"date-time":"2007-12-19T01:37:17Z","timestamp":1198028237000},"page":"389-390","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["First report of rabies in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in an urban area, Ubatuba, S\u00e3o Paulo state, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Claudia","family":"Ferraz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ubatuba Zoonosis Control Center,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samira Maria","family":"Achkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pasteur Institute,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivanete","family":"Kotait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pasteur Institute,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.virusres.2005.03.006","article-title":"Overview of rabies in the Americas","volume":"111","author":"BELOTTO A.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Virus Res."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46652005000200010","article-title":"First record of Desmodus rotundus in urban area from the city of Olinda, Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil: a case report","volume":"47","author":"DANTAS TORRES F.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Rev.
