All extant rabies viruses appear to have evolved within the last 1500 years. [41] There are seven genotypes of Rabies lyssavirus. In Eurasia, cases are due to three of these: genotype 1 (classical rabies) and to a lesser extent genotypes 5 and 6 (European bat lyssaviruses type-1 and -2). [42]
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 .
Rabies is caused by a number of lyssaviruses including the rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus. [4] Duvenhage lyssavirus may cause a rabies-like infection. [33] The rabies virus is the type species of the Lyssavirus genus, in the family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales.
[2] [3] [4] Diseases associated with member viruses include rabies encephalitis caused by the rabies virus, and flu-like symptoms in humans caused by vesiculoviruses. The name is derived from Ancient Greek rhabdos, meaning rod, referring to the shape of the viral particles. [5] The family has 40 genera, most assigned to three subfamilies. [6]
