Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans).
On October 2, CDC confirmed the patient was infected with a rabies virus variant that was enzootic to the

For example, California myotis (Myotis californicas) typically echolocates in the range 45.6-90.0 kHz,
silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans) 25.4-41.5 kHz, and spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) 9.6-14.5 kHz.

Unlike their hibernating cousins, migratory tree bats--which include the hoary bat, the

Adiagnosis of rabies was confirmed by CDC laboratory testing, with molecular analysis later revealing that the patient had been infected with a variant commonly associated with the
silver-haired bat.
