ABSTRACT
Rabies-infected bats are preyed upon by dogs and cats and the transmission of vírus from bats to domestic animais has been reported. It is expected that bat-related virus variants might be found with higher frequency in dogs and cats living in urban areas where the terrestrial cycle has been controlled. This article reports the genetic characterization of one sample of rabies virus from a cat that had contact with a bat on the border of São Paulo city. The sample was genetically typed as variant 3, associated with Desmodus rotundus, suggesting that bats and their rabies virus variants must from now on be considered in the epidemiology of rabies of urban domestic animais and in public health policies.
