Summary
| Description |
English: (A) Acute care in a local health outpost of a young girl bitten by a bat while she slept. (B) Close-up of bite on girl's head showing typical concave lesion. (C) The common vampire bat, D. rotundus. The central incisors are used to remove a small patch of skin from prey, and anticoagulants in the saliva prevent clotting while the bat laps the blood meal. This feeding behavior allows for transmission of rabies to prey via saliva. (D) Typical bite on the ankle of a cow. |
