Abstract. We prove a hyperbolic analogue of the Bloch-Ochiai theorem about the Zariski closure of holomorphic curves in abelian varieties. We consider the case of non compact Shimura varieties completing the proof of the result for all Shimura varieties. The statement which we consider here was first formulated and proven by Ullmo and Yafaev for compact Shimura varieties.Mathematics Subject Classification. 14G35, 03C64, 14P10, 32H02, 32M15.
