Abstract
An outbreak of bovine rabies occurred on a ranch when cattle were bitt en by vampire bats. Microscopic lesions showed a nonsuppurative enceph alitis with intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Immunohistochemistry de monstrated viral antigen in the brain, and monoclonal antibodies ident ified a serotype 1 (vampire strain) of the rabies virus.
