Henipavirus neutralising antibodies in an isolated island population of African fruit bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Isolated islands provide valuable opportunities to study the persistence of viruses in wildlife populations, including population size thresholds such as the critical community size.

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.

Components and Architecture of the Rhabdovirus Ribonucleoprotein Complex
Viruses, 2020 Rhabdoviruses, as single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses within the order Mononegavirales, are characterised by bullet-shaped or bacteroid particles that contain a helical ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP).

Sero-Surveillance of Lyssavirus Specific Antibodies in Nigerian Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum)
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2017 The aetiological agent of rabies is a member of the Lyssavirus genus (Rhabdoviridae family, order Mononegavirales). The disease (rabies) is endemic in many parts of Asia and Africa and still remains an important public and veterinary health threat.

Diversity and epidemiology of Mokola virus. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Mokola virus (MOKV) appears to be exclusive to Africa. Although the first isolates were from Nigeria and other Congo basin countries, all reports over the past 20 years have been from southern Africa.

Ikoma Lyssavirus, Highly Divergent Novel Lyssavirus in an African Civet
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Evidence in support of a novel lyssavirus was obtained from brain samples of an African civet in Tanzania. Results of phylogenetic analysis of nucleoprotein gene sequences from representative Lyssavirus species and this novel lyssavirus provided strong ...

Rhabdovirus matrix protein structures reveal a novel mode of self-association.
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 The matrix (M) proteins of rhabdoviruses are multifunctional proteins essential for virus maturation and budding that also regulate the expression of viral and host proteins. We have solved the structures of M from the vesicular stomatitis virus serotype

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...
