Rabies and other lyssavirus diseases

The Lancet, 2004
The full scale of the global burden of human rabies is unknown, owing to inadequate surveillance of this fatal disease. However, the terror of hydrophobia, a cardinal symptom of rabies encephalitis, is suffered by tens of thousands of people each year.

Detection of rhabdovirus viral RNA in oropharyngeal swabs and ectoparasites of spanish bats [PDF]

, 2013
Rhabdoviruses infect a variety of hosts, including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects and plants. As bats are the natural host for most members of the genus Lyssavirus, the specificity of the amplification methods used for active surveillance is ...

Lyssavirus Detection and Typing Using Pyrosequencing [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT Rabies is a fatal zoonosis caused by a nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus, namely, rabies virus (RABV). Apart from RABV, at least 10 additional species are known as rabies-related lyssaviruses (RRVs), and some of them are responsible for occasional spillovers into humans.

First case of lethal encephalitis in Western Europe due to European bat lyssavirus type 1.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021
BACKGROUND Inaccurate diagnosis of encephalitis is a major issue as immunosuppressive treatments can be deleterious in case of viral infection. The European bat lyssavirus type 1, a virus related to rabies virus, is endemic in European bats.

Serologic Evidence of Lyssavirus Infections among Bats, the Philippines

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Active surveillance for lyssaviruses was conducted among populations of bats in the Philippines. The presence of past or current Lyssavirus infection was determined by use of direct fluorescent antibody assays on bat brains and virus neutralization ...

Development of broad-spectrum human monoclonal antibodies for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis [PDF]

, 2016
Currently available rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for use in humans includes equine or human rabies immunoglobulins (RIG). The replacement of RIG with an equally or more potent and safer product is strongly encouraged due to the high costs and ...

Complete Genome Sequence of Ikoma Lyssavirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2012
ABSTRACT Lyssaviruses (family Rhabdoviridae ) constitute one of the most important groups of viral zoonoses globally. All lyssaviruses cause the disease rabies, an acute progressive encephalitis for which, once symptoms occur, there is no effective cure.

Substitution of S179P in the Lyssavirus Phosphoprotein Impairs Its Interferon Antagonistic Function

Journal of Virology, 2022
Interferon (IFN) and the IFN-induced cellular antiviral response constitute the first line of defense against viral invasion. Evading host innate immunity, especially IFN signaling, is the key step required for lyssaviruses to establish infection ...
