	EID Vol 2 No 4: Encephalitis Caused by a Lyssavirus in Fruit Bats in Australia
		A virus with close serologic and genetic relationships to members of the Lyssavirus genus of the family Rhabdoviridae was isolated in mice from the tissue homogenates of a sick juvenile animal.
		The Lyssavirus genus of the family Rhabdoviridae consists of five serotypes: classical rabies virus (serotype 1), Lagos bat virus (LBV) (serotype 2), Mokola virus (serotype 3), Duvenhage virus (DUVV) (serotype 4), and European bat virus (EBV) (serotype 5).
		Phylogenetic analysis of both the nucleotide and amino acid sequences (not shown) showed that the virus is closely related to the EBV as well as the classic street rabies strains (12).

		Lyssavirus is similar to rabies, with the virus affecting the nervous system where it can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and can be fatal.
		The virus is usually transmitted from a bite or scratch from a bat, which allows the virus to gain direct contact to nerve endings.
		Exposure to bat blood, faeces, urine and fur is not considered a risk for Lyssavirus transmission however any direct contact with bats increases the risk of potential injury through a scratch or bite.

		The Lyssavirus Expert Group has stated that non-traumatic contact with bats or their secretions does "not constitute an at risk exposure." (Anon 1997).
		A paper by Fraser et al (1996) was the first to give antigenic and genetic details of a new lyssavirus discovered in a flying fox from Ballina in 1996, and to propose a provisional name for the virus, pteropid lyssavirus.

	Rabies and Australian Bat Lyssavirus
		Australian bat lyssavirus is a virus similar to rabies that is present in the Australian bat population.
		All people who handle bats should be vaccinated for this disease, and people who are exposed or may be at risk of infection should seek the advice of their medical practitioner.

	CDC - New Lyssavirus Genotype from the Lesser Mouse-eared Bat (Myotis blythi), Kyrghyzstan
		The Lyssavirus genus includes seven genotypes: rabies virus (RABV, genotype 1), Lagos bat virus (genotype 2), Mokola virus (genotype 3), Duvenhage virus (genotype 4), European bat lyssavirus 1 (EBLV-1, genotype 5), European bat lyssavirus 2 (EBLV-2, genotype 6), and Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV, genotype 7) (1,2).
		Aravan virus was isolated from the brain of one lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythi) during a survey of 269 bats collected in the Osh region of Kyrghyzstan from 1988 to 1992 (30,32).
		This information should be considered in the discussion of lyssavirus classification and evolution, as it suggests the possibility of a broader geographic distribution of the Aravan virus.

	Screening for lyssavirus in flying foxes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Australian bat lyssavirus, first reported in mid-1996 from a Black Flying Fox Pteropus alecto has now been isolated from two other species of flying fox, a microbat and a human, who died of a rabies-like illness.
		The infectivity of Australian bat lyssavirus to humans and other mammals is not known, but its close genomic and antigenic relationship to classical rabies virus suggest that it is likely to be capable of causing fatal illness in most mammalian species.
		The discovery of Lyssavirus in Australian bats has highlighted the need for professional and community groups involved with wild animals to work together to decrease the risks to human health and to lessen the impact on bats and other native species.
