Rabies seropositive individuals, dogs, and healthcare professionals without prior vaccination in four Brazilian Indigenous communities. by Matheus Lopes Ribeiro, Camila Michele Appolinario, Bruna Letícia Devidé Ribeiro, João Henrique Farinhas, Fernando Rodrigo Doline, Gisely Toledo Barone, Juliana Amorim Conselheiro, Vamilton Alvarés Santarém, Leandro Meneguelli Biondo, Andrea Pires Dos Santos, Rogério Giuffrida, Louise Bach Kmetiuk, Alexander Welker Biondo, Jane Megid

“…Seropositivity was associated with being from the Kopenoty community (p = 0.026) and with owners reporting seeing their dogs in contact with bats (p = 0.022). In summary, these results should be considered as a warning for the risk of human-dog rabies exposure and infection, mainly due to bat contact.…”
