novel lyssavirus in bat, spain.	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 be more closely related to the west causasian bat virus, and especially to the ikoma lyssavirus.	2013	23648051
cross-neutralization of antibodies induced by vaccination with purified chick embryo cell vaccine (pcecv) against different lyssavirus species.	rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease caused by viruses belonging to the genus lyssavirus. in endemic countries of asia and africa, where the majority of the estimated 60,000 human rabies deaths occur, it is mainly caused by the classical rabies virus (rabv) transmitted by dogs. over the last decade new species within the genus lyssavirus have been identified. meanwhile 15 (proposed or classified) species exist, including australian bat lyssavirus (ablv), european bat lyssavirus (eblv-1 and -2) ...	2014	25483634
complete genome sequence of lleida bat lyssavirus.	all lyssaviruses (family rhabdoviridae) cause the disease rabies, an acute progressive encephalitis for which, once symptoms occur, there is no effective cure. using next-generation sequencing, the full-genome sequence for a novel lyssavirus, lleida bat lyssavirus (llebv), from the original brain of a common bent-winged bat has been confirmed.	2017	28082487
molecular and serological survey of lyssaviruses in croatian bat populations.	rabies is the only known zoonotic disease of bat origin in europe. the disease is caused by species belonging to the genus lyssavirus. five lyssavirus species, i.e., european bat lyssavirus (eblv)-1, eblv-2, bokeloh bat lyssavirus, lleida bat lyssavirus, and west caucasian bat virus, have been identified in european bats. more recently, a proposed sixth species, kotalahti bat lyssavirus, was detected. thus, in this study, active surveillance was initiated in order to obtain insights into the pre ...	2018	30189884
lleida bat lyssavirus isolation in miniopterus schreibersii in france.	bat rabies cases are attributed in europe to five different lyssavirus species of 16 recognized lyssavirus species causing rabies. one of the most genetically divergent lyssavirus spp. has been detected in a dead miniopterus schreibersii bat in france. brain samples were found positive for the presence of antigen, infectious virus and viral rna by classical virological methods and molecular methods respectively. the complete genome sequence was determined by next-generation sequencing. the analy ...	2019	30460779
