The Serological Prevalence of Rabies Virus-Neutralizing Antibodies in the Bat Population on the Caribbean Island of Trinidad	2020-02-05		.txt	text/plain	6431	297	46	We aimed to determine the seroprevalence of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) in light of spatio-temporal and bat demographic factors to infer the extent of natural exposure to RABV in the Trinidadian bat population. RVNA titers were determined by the RABV micro-neutralization test on 383 bat samples representing 21 species, comprising 30.9% of local bat diversity, from 31 locations across the island over 5 years. We therefore sought to determine the current seroprevalence of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) in the Trinidadian bat population over a period of five years in order to infer the extent of natural exposure to RABVs and the spatio-temporal dynamics of RABV infection in the bat population. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the previous serological studies revealed significantly variable rates for the prevalence of rabies antibodies in bats [29] [30] [31] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] which may be attributed to differences in viral population dynamics influenced by spatio-temporal and bat demographic factors as discussed below.	./cache/cord-004510-cbutpjre.txt	./txt/cord-004510-cbutpjre.txt
