This report describes the first pathologic and immunohistochemical recognition in Australia of a rabies-like disease in a native mammal, a fruit bat, the black flying fox (Pteropus alecto). A virus with close serologic and genetic relationships to members of the Lyssavirus genus of the family Rhabdoviridae was isolated in mice from the tissue homogenates of a sick juvenile animal.
本报告描述了在澳大利亚首次通过病理学和免疫组织化学方法，在一种本土哺乳动物——果蝠黑狐蝠（Pteropus alecto）中识别出一种类似狂犬病的疾病。从一只患病幼兽的组织匀浆中分离出一种病毒，该病毒与弹状病毒科狂犬病毒属成员具有密切的血清学和遗传关系。
