Structures of two lyssavirus glycoproteins trapped in pre- and post-fusion states and the implications on the spatial-temporal conformational transition along with pH-decrease. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensLyssavirus glycoprotein plays a crucial role in mediating virus entry and serves as the major target for neutralizing antibodies. During membrane fusion, the lyssavirus glycoprotein undergoes a series of low-pH-induced conformational transitions.

Ikoma Lyssavirus, Highly Divergent Novel Lyssavirus in an African Civet [PDF]
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 ...

Lyssavirus in Indian Flying Foxes, Sri Lanka [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 A novel lyssavirus was isolated from brains of Indian flying foxes (Pteropus medius) in Sri Lanka. Phylogenetic analysis of complete virus genome sequences, and geographic location and host species, provides strong evidence that this virus is a putative ...

Detection and Serological Evidence of European Bat Lyssavirus 1 in Belgian Bats between 2016 and 2018 [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious DiseaseLyssaviruses are neurotropic viruses capable of inducing fatal encephalitis. While rabies virus has been successfully eradicated in Belgium, the prevalence of other lyssaviruses remains uncertain.

Evaluation of Taxonomic Characteristics of Matlo and Phala Bat Rabies-Related Lyssaviruses Identified in South Africa [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 We report the genetic characterization of two potentially novel rabies-related lyssaviruses identified from bats in Limpopo province, South Africa. Matlo bat lyssavirus (MBLV) was identified in two Miniopterus natalensis (Natal long-fingered) bats in ...

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

Climate Change-Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.

Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisVietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.
