Genomic diversity and evolution of the lyssaviruses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Lyssaviruses are RNA viruses with single-strand, negative-sense genomes responsible for rabies-like diseases in mammals. To date, genomic and evolutionary studies have most often utilized partial genome sequences, particularly of the nucleoprotein and ...

Multipurpose Passive Surveillance of Bat-Borne Viruses in Hungary: Lyssaviruses and Filoviruses in Focus [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals
Bats 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.

Detection and Serological Evidence of European Bat Lyssavirus 1 in Belgian Bats between 2016 and 2018 [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Lyssaviruses are neurotropic viruses capable of inducing fatal encephalitis. While rabies virus has been successfully eradicated in Belgium, the prevalence of other lyssaviruses remains uncertain.

Cross-Protection of Inactivated Rabies Vaccines for Veterinary Use against Bat Lyssaviruses Occurring in Europe

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Human rabies vaccines have been shown to induce partial protection against members of phylogroup I bat lyssaviruses. Here, we investigated the capacity of a widely used rabies inactivated vaccine (Rabisin, Boehringer-Ingelheim) for veterinary use to ...

Rabies in Cats—An Emerging Public Health Issue [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
Human rabies cases today are predominantly associated with infection from rabid domestic dogs. Unlike dogs, a common global reservoir species that perpetuates rabies viruses (RABV) within their populations, domestic cats are much less frequently reported

Bat Lyssaviruses, Northern Vietnam

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
To the Editor: Bats have been associated with a wide diversity of viruses, including lyssaviruses, which can cause rabies. Currently, 12 distinct species of lyssaviruses have been classified worldwide; 3 of these were isolated from bats in northern and central Asia (1).

Serological survey of lyssaviruses in synanthropic bats and human exposure to bats in Slovakia

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2022
Introduction Bats are considered natural reservoirs for lyssaviruses. A total of 17 out of 19 known lyssaviruses circulate in bat populations. Lyssaviruses cause rabies in animals and humans.

Renewed Public Health Threat from Emerging Lyssaviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Pathogen discovery contributes to our knowledge of bat-borne viruses and is linked to the heightened interest globally in bats as recognised reservoirs of zoonotic agents.

Retrospective Enhanced Bat Lyssavirus Surveillance in Germany between 2018–2020

open access: yesViruses, 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
