Lyssavirus (from the Greek λύσσα lyssa "rage, fury, rabies" and the Latin vīrus) [1] [2] is a genus of RNA viruses in the family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales.Mammals, including humans, can serve as natural hosts.
European bat 1 lyssavirus (EBLV-1) is one of three rabies virus-like agents of the genus Lyssavirus found in serotine bats (Eptesicus serotinus) in Spain. Strains of EBLV-1 have been identified as EBLV-1a and EBLV-1b. EBLV-1a was isolated from bats found in the Netherlands and Russia, while EBLV-1b was found in bats in France, the Netherlands ...
WCBL initially infects muscle tissue in the bats. As the virus progresses, it moves into the nervous tissue in both the PNS and CNS. [12] Although no studies have been completed thus far on the mammalian tropism of the WCBL virus, tropism for another more recently discovered lyssavirus, Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) has been explored.
3D still showing rabies virus structure. Rhabdoviruses have helical symmetry, so their infectious particles are approximately cylindrical in shape. They are characterized by an extremely broad host spectrum ranging from plants [citation needed] to insects [citation needed] and mammals; human-infecting viruses more commonly have icosahedral symmetry and take shapes approximating regular polyhedra.
The three respiratory viruses plus norovirus, a gastrointestinal virus, are the "main players in our winter virus pantheon," said Dr. Thomas Russo, who heads the infectious diseases department at ...
The genome organization and RNA synthesis of order Mononegavirales. A virus is a member of the order Mononegavirales if [2] [3]. its genome is a linear, typically (but not always) nonsegmented, single-stranded, non-infectious RNA of negative polarity; possesses inverse-complementary 3' and 5' termini; and is not covalently linked to a protein;
What one nurse learned about humanity amidst the Ebola epidemic
A fatal virus has been discovered in shrews in Alabama, sparking concerns about potential contagion to humans. The Camp Hill virus was discovered by researchers at The University of Queensland.
