Novel lyssavirus in Natterer's bat, Germany

Emerg Infect Dis. 2011 Aug;17(8):1519-22. doi: 10.3201/eid1708.110201.

Abstract

A virus isolated from a Natterer's bat (Myotis nattererii) in Germany was differentiated from other lyssaviruses on the basis of the reaction pattern of a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Phylogenetic analysis supported the assumption that the isolated virus, Bokeloh bat lyssavirus, may represent a new member of the genus Lyssavirus.
