Yuli virus was isolated by intracerebral (i.c.) inoculation of suckling mice with a 10% brain suspension from 11-year-old patient who died under signs of atypical hydrophobia after a bat bite into lower lip. Identification with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to nucleocapsid protein (NP) confirmed that Yuli virus belongs to Lyssavirus genus, as an antigenic variant of the European Duvenhage virus.
