Endemic Lagos bat virus infection inEidolon helvum [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 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).

Lagos bat virus transmission in an Eidolon helvum bat colony, Ghana
Virus Research, 2015 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) A brain sample of a straw-coloured fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) from Ghana without evident signs of disease tested positive by generic Lyssavirus RT-PCR and direct antigen staining. Sequence analysis confirmed the presence of a Lagos bat virus belonging to phylogenetic lineage A.

Long-term survival of an urban fruit bat seropositive for Ebola and Lagos bat viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ebolaviruses (EBOV) (family Filoviridae) cause viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates when they spill over from their wildlife reservoir hosts with case fatality rates of up to 90%.

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...
