In global health, critical challenges have arisen from infectious diseases, including the
emergence and reemergence of old and new infectious diseases. Emergence and …

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. Whilst numerous …

A new tentative lyssavirus, Lleida bat lyssavirus, was found in a bent-winged bat
(Miniopterus schreibersii) in Spain. It does not belong to phylogroups I or II, and it seems to …

The lyssaviruses are a diverse group of viruses capable of causing rabies, which is an
invariably fatal encephalitic disease in both humans and animals. Currently, the lyssavirus …

Many infectious diseases originating from, or carried by, wildlife affect wildlife conservation
and biodiversity, livestock health, or human health. We provide an update on changes in the …

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 …

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. The …

A tentative novel member of the genus Lyssavirus, designated as Kotalahti bat lyssavirus,
was detected in a Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) in Finland. Based on phylogenetic analysis …

Due to the implementation of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) programmes, the European
Union (EU) is becoming progressively free of red fox (Vulpes vulpes)-mediated rabies. Over …

Many of the recently emerging highly virulent zoonotic diseases have a likely bat origin, for
example Hendra, Nipah, Ebola and diseases caused by coronaviruses. Presumably …
