Kernel density map of concentration of Artibeus spp. bats in study of naturally acquired rabies in a white-eared opossum, Brazil. The kernel concentration layer of Artibeus is overlapped by layers of high concentration of Eptesicus, Myotis, and Tadarida spp. The opossum was found in a vegetated area with a high concentration of Artibeus spp. bats.
