Abstract

LETTERS

We evaluated the presence of antibodies for rabies virus in 177 serum samples from 125 wild lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) from three different Brazilian biomes. The rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test was performed. No antibody titers suggesting the circulation of the rabies virus in tapir habitat were detected.
