In Puerto Rico, have been implicated in up 70% reported animal cases. There is no vaccination program for wildlife data limited. We conducted a serosurvey two different ecologic environments Rico: El Yunque National Forest Cabo Rojo Wildlife Refuge. collected 119 serum samples from 112 mongooses, 44 (39.3%) which were positive virus–neutralizing antibodies. also oral swabs 147 including 88 we serum. No virus RNA. Our support ...
