Two new rabies-related viruses were discovered in Russia during 2002. Viruses were isolated from bats in Eastern Siberia near Baikal Lake and in the western Caucasus Mountains. After preliminary antigenic and genetic characterization, we found that both viruses should be considered as new putative lyssavirus genotypes.
2002年在俄罗斯发现了两种新型狂犬病相关病毒。病毒分别从贝加尔湖附近的东西伯利亚蝙蝠以及西高加索山脉的蝙蝠中分离出来。经过初步的抗原和基因特征分析,我们发现这两种病毒都应被视为新的假定狂犬病病毒基因型。
