Thirty-three Brazilian bat rabies viruses (RVs) were studied by sequence analysis and were compared against sequences of bat-related RVs from other regions of the Americas. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that bat-related RVs formed several monophyletic lineages and that these were associated with bat species. Brazilian bat RVs were found to include nine major lineages, one of which grouped with RVs isolated from Lasiurus spp. from different regions of the Americas. These results suggest that there is considerable diversity among Brazilian bat RV variants and that some of these RV variants may be associated with bats from other countries.
通过序列分析研究了33种巴西蝙蝠狂犬病病毒(RVs),并将其与来自美洲其他地区的蝙蝠相关RVs序列进行了比较。系统发育分析表明,蝙蝠相关RVs形成了几个单系谱系,并且这些谱系与蝙蝠物种相关。发现巴西蝙蝠RVs包括九个主要谱系,其中一个谱系与从美洲不同地区的棕蝠属(Lasiurus spp.)分离出的RVs聚在一起。这些结果表明,巴西蝙蝠RV变体之间存在相当大的多样性,并且其中一些RV变体可能与来自其他国家的蝙蝠有关。
