T Nokireki et al. Transbound Emerg Dis. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

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, the virus differs from other known lyssaviruses, being closely related to Khujand virus, Aravan virus, Bokeloh bat lyssavirus and European bat lyssavirus 2.

Keywords: Chiroptera; Myotis brandtii; Finland; bat lyssavirus; rabies.
