Abstract
Mexican freetail bats (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana) were inoculated by intracerebral, intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intranasal routes with virus isolated from rabid freetail bats. Saliva was tested for virus by inoculation of weanling mice. Mortality was greatest among bats inoculated interacerebrally and least among those inoculated intranasally. No salivary "carrier state" was observed. The results suggest that rabies eixts enzootically in the freetail bat.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
