Negri bodies and lyssavirus antigens in brain tissue from an Indian flying fox, Sri Lanka. A) Degenerate Purkinje’s cell with an eosinophilic, intracytoplasmic inclusion body and a Negri body (arrow). Hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification ×1,000. B) Green fluorescence indicative of lyssavirus nucleoprotein in a brain smear subjected to a direct fluorescence antibody test with fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated monoclonal antibody. Original magnification ×100.
