Antigenic and genetic characterization of a divergent African virus, Ikoma lyssavirus [PDF]
, 2014 In 2009, a novel lyssavirus (subsequently named Ikoma lyssavirus, IKOV) was detected in the brain of an African civet (Civettictis civetta) with clinical rabies in the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania.

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 ...

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,

A two-step lyssavirus real-time polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers with superior sensitivity to the fluorescent antigen test [PDF]
, 2014 A generic two-step lyssavirus real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), based on a nested PCR strategy, was validated for the detection of different lyssavirus species.

Lagos bat virus infection study
Pan African Medical Journal Conference Proceedings, 2018 Introduction: bats are reservoirs for many emerging and neglected zoonotic viruses, including rabies virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) like coronavirus, henipavirus and filovirus. Fruit bats of several species are reservoir hosts for Lagos Bat Virus (LBV) with spillover infections documented in dogs, cats and mongoose.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
, 2018 Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...
