We detected 3 lyssaviruses in insectivorous bats sampled in South Africa during 2003-2018. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify Duvenhage lyssavirus and a potentially new lyssavirus, provisionally named Matlo bat lyssavirus, that is related to West Caucasian bat virus. These new detections highlight that much about lyssaviruses remains unknown.
我们在 2003 年至 2018 年期间采集的南非食虫蝙蝠中检测到 3 种狂犬病毒。我们使用系统发育分析鉴定出杜文哈格病毒和一种可能的新病毒,暂时命名为马托蝙蝠病毒,它与西高加索病毒有关。这些新发现表明,关于狂犬病毒仍有许多未知之处。
