Discovery of a Novel Bat Lyssavirus in a Long-Fingered Bat (Myotis capaccinii) From Slovenia
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 Lyssaviruses are the causative agents of rabies, a zoonotic, fatal disease that is thought to be ancestral to bats. In the last decade, the detection of bat associated lyssaviruses is increasing also in Europe.

Retrospective Enhanced Bat Lyssavirus Surveillance in Germany Between 2018–2020
Viruses, 2021 Lyssaviruses are the causative agents for rabies, a zoonotic and fatal disease. Bats are the ancestral reservoir host for lyssaviruses, and at least three different lyssaviruses have been found in bats from Germany. Across Europe, novel lyssaviruses were

Multipurpose Passive Surveillance of Bat-Borne Viruses in Hungary: Lyssaviruses and Filoviruses in Focus [PDF]
AnimalsBats are vital parts of ecosystems but also act as important reservoirs of viruses that can infect humans. Studying bat-borne viruses is essential for preventing spillover events, and passive surveillance offers a promising, bat-friendly approach.
