ABSTRACT
Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

The Jirau hydroelectric power plant built in Rondônia state has environmental impacts that could be relevant to rabies outbreaks.

METHODS:

Bat populations were monitored for rabies by fluorescent antibody testing and simplified fluorescent inhibition microtesting between 2010 and 2015.

RESULTS:

All 1,183 bats tested negative for rabies. The prevalence of rabies antibodies was 17.5% in 1,049 bats.

CONCLUSIONS:

The rabies antibody dosage was not reactive in samples collected before the environmental changes, and there was a progressive increase in subsequent collections that could indicate an increase in rabies virus circulation among bats and risk of a rabies outbreak.
