Abstract
Vertebrate animals collected in Haiti in 1972 were tested for selected zoonotic diseases. No rabies virus or neutralizing (N) antibody was detected in bats (Artibeus jamaicensis). However, N antibody against St. Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis (WEE), and Eastern equine encephalitis were detected in resident species of birds and WEE antibody in bats. No N antibody against Venezuelan equine encephalitis was found. The possible introduction by migratory birds and local transmission of these arboviruses is discussed.Entities:
