Lyssaviruses and Bats: Emergence and Zoonotic Threat [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2014
The continued detection of zoonotic viral infections in bats has led to the microbial fauna of these mammals being studied at a greater level than ever before.

Lyssaviruses in Insectivorous Bats, South Africa, 2003–2018 [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We detected 3 lyssaviruses in insectivorous bats sampled in South Africa during 2003–2018. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify Duvenhage lyssavirus and a potentially new lyssavirus, provisionally named Matlo bat lyssavirus, that is related to West ...

The Global Phylogeography of Lyssaviruses - Challenging the 'Out of Africa' Hypothesis.

open access: goldPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Rabies virus kills tens of thousands of people globally each year, especially in resource-limited countries. Yet, there are genetically- and antigenically-related lyssaviruses, all capable of causing the disease rabies, circulating globally among bats ...

Discovery of a novel bat lyssavirus in a Long-fingered bat (Myotis capaccinii) from Slovenia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Genomic and Clinical Analysis of a Fatal Human Lyssavirus irkut Case: Evidence for a Natural Focus in the Russian Far East [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
In this report, we document and analyze a case in which the Irkut virus (IRKV) (Mononegavirales: Rhabdoviridae) caused a fatal human case following a bat bite in June 2021.

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

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 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 ...

Molecular Detection of Rabies Lyssaviruses from Dogs in Southeastern Nigeria: Evidence of TransboundaryTransmission of Rabies in West Africa

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Despite being the first country to register confirmed cases of Mokola and Lagos bat lyssaviruses (two very distant lyssaviruses), knowledge gaps, particularly on the molecular epidemiology of lyssaviruses, still exist in Nigeria. A total of 278 specimens

Novel Lyssaviruses Isolated from Bats in Russia [PDF]

open access: diamondEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Two new rabies-related viruses were discovered in Russia during 2002. Viruses were isolated from bats in Eastern Siberia near Baikal Lake and in the western Caucasus Mountains. After preliminary antigenic and genetic characterization, we found that both viruses should be considered as new putative ...

Plain-nosed bats (family Vespertilionidae) as a possible reservoir of lyssaviruses and coronaviruses in Western Siberia and the south of European Russia

open access: diamondВопросы вирусологии
The review presents current data on the chiropterofauna inhabiting Western Siberia and the south of the European part of Russia. A general description of the genus of lyssaviruses and the family of coronaviruses is given. The potential for virus carriage

Lyssaviruses

open access: greenCritical Reviews in Microbiology, 2007
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Lyssaviruses are the etiological agents of rabies, one of the oldest viral diseases known to man and a disease that has persisted over many centuries. Together with sound diagnostic methods and efficacious vaccines—both of which had been available for many decades, an understanding of the epidemiology ...
