Lagos Bat Virus Infection Dynamics in Free-Ranging Straw-Colored Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum)

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2017
Bats are key species for ecological function, but they are also reservoirs of zoonotic agents, such as lyssaviruses that cause rabies. Little is known about the maintenance and transmission of lyssaviruses in bats, although the observation of clinically ...

Evaluating Pre‐ and Post‐Exposure Vaccination for Rabies Control in Dog Populations Using Mathematical Modeling

Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding the transmission dynamics of rabies among dogs is crucial for designing effective control strategies in endemic regions. In this study, we developed and analyzed two deterministic compartmental models. The SEI model captures the natural progression of rabies in the absence of intervention, while the SEIV model incorporates vaccination ...

Bat Hunting, Illness, and Health‐Seeking Behavior Among a Bat‐Hunter Community in Bangladesh: Biomedical Versus Local Views

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores socioeconomic and health‐related aspects of a bat‐hunter community in Bangladesh, focusing on their unique cultural practices and the associated risks of bat‐borne infections. The hunter community predominantly engages in day labor and seasonal bat hunting as supplementary income.

European bat lyssaviruses: an emerging zoonosis

Epidemiology and Infection, 2003
In Europe, two bat lyssaviruses referred to as European bat lyssaviruses (EBLVs) types 1 and 2 (genotypes 5 and 6 respectively) which are closely related to classical rabies virus are responsible for an emerging zoonosis. EBLVs are host restricted to bats, and have been known to infect not only their primary hosts but also in rare circumstances, induce

Geographic Translocation of Bats: Known and Potential Problems

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Natural, accidental, and intentional translocation of bats, both intra- and intercontinentally, has been documented. Some bats have been translocated while incubating infectious diseases, including rabies or related lyssavirus infections; others have ...

The Diagnosis of Human Neurological Infection Caused by Rabies Virus Using Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing: Two Case Reports

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rabies virus (RABV) causes acute progressive and fatal encephalomyelitis. Two case studies of RABV neurological infection identified using metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) are presented in this paper. A total of 39 RABV sequences were detected using mNGS in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in Case 1. The detected sequences were located in

Geospatial Tracking of a Rabies Outbreak in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, Using Molecular Data

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Rabies is a zoonotic disease known to humankind for millennia. Despite being preventable, rabies is still neglected and causes human fatalities, predominantly in resource‐limited areas in Africa and Asia. In South Africa, rabies is maintained in both domestic and wildlife reservoir hosts, with frequent cross‐species transmission.

DNA-Based Immunization against Lyssaviruses

Intervirology, 2000
Rabies is a fatal encephalomyelitis. Most cases occur in developing countries and are transmitted by dogs. Because of their high cost, cell culture vaccines have not totally replaced the unsafe brain-derived vaccines which are still used in many developing countries.

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

EMBO 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 ...

Mokola Virus in Domestic Mammals, South Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We recently identified 2 Mokola viruses from domestic mammals (a dog and a cat) in South Africa. These cases occurred 8 years after the last reported case of infection with this virus.
