| The bats are a major reservoir of rabies virus and have a relevant importance in the disease transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bat population submitted for rabies diagnosis. Data were analyzed from 18.805 bats received by the diagnostic section of the Pasteur Institute of Sao Paulo, originated from several counties of the state of Sao Paulo over the period from 2007 to 2012. These specimens were morphologically classified according to their family, at the time of execution of the rabies diagnosis technique. The central nervous system from these animals was submitted to direct immunofluorescence test and, when viable, to viral isolation. From the total of bats received, 76.92% bats belonged to the Molossidae family, 12.14% to the... |

| Bats found in Brazil are classified in 9 families, 64 genus and 168 species. They are an important rabies reservoirs and all species can be infected or be the transmitter of rabies virus, independently of their specie classification or feeding habits. This work aimed a survey of bats species originated from counties of Sao Paulo state, which were sent to the diagnostic laboratory of the Pasteur Institute – Sao Paulo. Between August 2009 to October 2012; 9.109 bats specimens were received and submitted to recommended techniques for rabies diagnosis by World Health Organization. From these specimens, 8.421 (92,45%) were classified in family, genus and specie, by morphological and morphometric parameters using bats identification keys. Furthermore, they also... |

| The Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization Test (FAVN) is used routinely in many laboratories for the reference measurement of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (VNA) in serum of animals to confirm the efficacy of vaccination against rabies, which is required to authorize the transit of these animals in countries free of rabies. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) recommends a VNA title ≥ 0,5 IU/mL to ensure that the animal has immunity against the rabies virus. The rabies laboratory diagnosis of Pasteur Institute of São Paulo/Brazil (IP/SP) is a national reference of the Ministry of Health for rabies diagnosis and performs the measurement of VNA in humans and animals serum samples for proof of immunization against rabies. The objective of... |
