Bats and Transmission of Rabies in USA • Bats are the most recognized reservoirs of rabies around the world. Since 1980, bat-borne rabies is endemic in USA. • When a bat bites an individual the severity of injury is trivial. However, the neglect leads to no attention towards post-exposure prophylaxis leading to spread of rabies virus and manifestation of clinical features. • Approximately 33% cases of bat-borne rabies occur in children. Mostly, children do not register the bat bite nor do they recall any contact with a bat.
