Table 1

Cage assignments and rabies diagnoses of female captive wild big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) that experienced an outbreak of rabies during a white-nose syndrome vaccine study. Letters under days indicate cage assignment. Main cages A and C were 42×76×122 cm; isolation cages E, F, G, J, K were 32×38×61 cm. Day 0 is the day of capture. Bats were vaccinated on day 16 and separated into 2 cages by treatment. Sick bats were euthanatized. Surviving bats remained in cages indicated on day 86 until they were placed in a hibernation chamber on day 111. Age: A = adult, J = juvenile; ++= rabies virus detected by direct fluorescent antibody test in bat euthanatized on that day; — = no rabies virus detected.
