- Title
Retraction: Prevalence and public health significance of rabies virus in bats in the North Region of Cameroon.
- Abstract
This article, titled "Prevalence and public health significance of rabies virus in bats in the North Region of Cameroon," has been retracted due to concerns about the scientific validity of the reported results. The concerns include the implausibility of detecting Lyssavirus rabies in bats in Cameroon, the insufficiency of the direct immunofluorescence assay used to detect rabies virus, and inaccurately reported results from multiple studies. The risk assessment in the article also does not meet required standards for preventing human exposure to bat lyssavirus. The corresponding author's responses were deemed inadequate by the PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Editorial Board, leading to the retraction of the article.
