Lagos Bat Virus in Kenya [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT During lyssavirus surveillance, 1,221 bats of at least 30 species were collected from 25 locations in Kenya. One isolate of Lagos bat virus (LBV) was obtained from a dead Eidolon helvum fruit bat.

Toward the Development of a Pan-Lyssavirus Vaccine [PDF]

Viruses
In addition to the rabies virus (RABV), 16 more lyssavirus species have been identified worldwide, causing a disease similar to RABV. Non-rabies-related human deaths have been described, but the number of cases is unknown, and the potential of such ...

Endemic Lagos bat virus infection in Eidolon helvum. [PDF]

Epidemiol Infect, 2012
SUMMARYPhylogenetic analyses suggest lyssaviruses, including Rabies virus, originated from bats. However, the role of bats in the maintenance, transmission and evolution of lyssaviruses is poorly understood. A number of genetically diverse lyssaviruses are present in Africa, including Lagos bat virus (LBV).

Evidence of Lagos Bat Virus Circulation among Nigerian Fruit Bats [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2010
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) During lyssavirus surveillance, 350 brains from four species of fruit bats and one species of insectivorous bat were collected from seven locations in Northern Nigeria during May to October, 2006.

Bat and Lyssavirus Exposure among Humans in Area that Celebrates Bat Festival, Nigeria, 2010 and 2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Using questionnaires and serologic testing, we evaluated bat and lyssavirus exposure among persons in an area of Nigeria that celebrates a bat festival. Bats from festival caves underwent serologic testing for phylogroup II lyssaviruses (Lagos bat virus,

Lagos bat virus virulence in mice inoculated by the peripheral route [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 2009
SUMMARYLagos bat virus (LBV) constitutes genotype (gt) 2 in theLyssavirusgenus. In contrast to the gt1 lyssavirus, rabies virus (RABV), LBV was reported to have markedly reduced levels of peripheral pathogenicity. However, this opinion was based on a study of one isolate of LBV only and the reduction in pathogenicity was essentially attributed to the ...

Maternal antibody and the maintenance of a lyssavirus in populations of seasonally breeding African bats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Pathogens causing acute disease and death or lasting immunity require specific spatial or temporal processes to persist in populations. Host traits, such as maternally-derived antibody (MDA) and seasonal birthing affect infection maintenance within ...

Serum Neutralization Profiles of Straw-Colored Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) in Makurdi (Nigeria), against Four Lineages of Lagos Bat Lyssavirus

Viruses, 2021
Lagos bat lyssavirus (LBV) comprising four lineages (A, B, C and D) can potentially cause the fatal disease rabies. Although LBV-B was initially isolated in Nigeria in 1956, there is no information on LBV lineages circulating in Nigeria.

New Lyssavirus Genotype from the Lesser Mouse-eared Bat (Myotis blythi), Kyrghyzstan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
The Aravan virus was isolated from a Lesser Mouse-eared Bat (Myotis blythi) in the Osh region of Kyrghyzstan, central Asia, in 1991. We determined the complete sequence of the nucleoprotein (N) gene and compared it with those of 26 representative ...

Serum Neutralisation profiles of Straw-Coloured Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) against four Lineages of Lagos Bat Lyssavirus

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: Bats are the natural reservoir hosts for many viral zoonotic pathogens including lyssaviruses that can cause the fatal disease rabies. Lagos bat lyssavirus (LBV), a member of phylogroup II lyssaviruses, has been classified into four lineages (A,
