Control of paralitic bovine rabies is frequently attempted by reducing hematophagous bat populations capturing them with networks placed around built corrals and poisoning the traped vampire bats with anticoagulants. Other species different to vampire bat Desmodus rotundus, that accidentally fell in nets in the huasteca region of Mexico were recorded. Among 255 bats identified in a period of one year (a total of 6 capture sessions), 221 (86.7 per cent) were identified as Desmodus rotundus and the rest (13.3 per cent) as 7 different species (Artibeus lituratus palmarium, Aetibeus jamaicensis yucatanacus, Glossophaga soricina, Diphylla ecaudata, Macrotus watherhousii, Pteronotus rubiginosa, Molossus ater nigricans). No significant difference was observed between the height to which vampire bats and the other species of bats fell in the nets. We discuss here the ecological importance of respecting the non target bats accidentally caught in nets installed for reducing vampire bat populations.
