The authors worked with a total of 770 bats. Of these, 556 were vampire bats and included 496 Desmodus rotundus rotundus (Geoffroy), 52 Diphylla ecaudata (Spix) and 8 Diaemus youngi (Jentink). Most of the bats came from areas in which rabies was prevalent. Of these areas the valley of the River Paraiba was of special importance, for these foci of rabies had existed since 1960. In this region 292 Desmodus were captured and from them 11 specimens of rabies virus were isolated, in all cases from brain tissue. The isolations were confirmed by the presence of Negri bodies in the brains of inoculated mice and by the serum-neutralization test. Two were obtained from bats found in stables during the day-time, one of which was received in an advanced state of putrefaction. These authors also discuss certain aspects of rabies outbreaks related to the isolations of virus, in particular an outbreak of rabies in cattle in Maraba Paulista, where the bats discovered were not vampire bats but frugivorous or insectivorous bats
