“…However, other species besides coatis of the Procyonidae family, the raccoon ( Procyon lotor ) and the kinkajou ( Potos flavus ), with the traits mentioned, were predicted to be non-reservoirs ( 41 ). This contrasts with the evidence collected in the last 10 years, which proves that new AgVs of the bat origin have been described in kinkajous in Peru and Brazil ( 42 , 43 ), and raccoons are a well-known RABV reservoir in the USA and Canada.…”

“…In southeastern Peru, rabies outbreaks have been reported in humans and animals (Salmón‐Mulanovoch et al, 2009) and we (RLP) have also documented a vampire bat on the back of a free‐ranging puma at the Los Amigos Biological Station, a nearby tributary (previously reported in Kays, 2016). Moreover, within this same region, rabies has also been reported in Kinkajous ( Potos flavus ) that attacked a group of people (Vargas‐Linares et al, 2014). The person in contact with the ocelot was not vaccinated against rabies.…”
