摘要
This study aimed to evaluate natural infection of bats by trypanosomatids. Using blood culturing, 86 specimens from different genera were examined, and 22 samples (25.58%) of Desmodus rotundus and Lonchorhina aurita were isolated. These results contribute towards knowledge of the occurrence of trypanosomatids in bats in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
