Abstract
Notes from the Field: Assessment of Rabies Exposure Risk Among Residents of a University Sorority House - Indiana, February 2017.
Highlights
Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) learned that bats had been roosting in the building for approximately 30 years
Bats had been routinely sighted in shared living areas and hallways
In 2016, 4.3% of all bats tested in Indiana were positive for rabies
Summary
ISDH learned that bats had been roosting in the building for approximately 30 years. Commercial wildlife operators conducted an environmental investigation in March and identified multiple small openings between the house’s exterior wall and doorframe, which can serve as points of ingress or egress for bats. In February 2017, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) was notified of bat exposures at a university sorority house.
