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.
