Ethiopian wolves are the rarest canid in the world, with only 500 found in the Ethiopian highlands. Rabies poses the most immediate threat to their survival, causing epizootic cycles of mass mortality. The complete genome sequence of a rabies virus (RABV) derived from an Ethiopian wolf during the most recent epizootic is reported here.
埃塞俄比亚狼是世界上最稀有的犬科动物,在埃塞俄比亚高地仅发现500只。狂犬病对它们的生存构成最直接的威胁,导致大规模死亡的动物流行病循环。本文报道了在最近一次动物流行病期间从一只埃塞俄比亚狼身上分离出的狂犬病病毒(RABV)的完整基因组序列。
