Bat lyssaviruses from Central Asia categorized
January 14th, 2004
Investigators have classified the phylogenetic relationships among bat lyssaviruses from Central Asia according to N, P, and G gene sequences. "Bat lyssaviruses Aravan and Khujand were isolated in southern Kyrgyzstan in 1991 and in northern Tajikistan in 2001, respectively. Preliminary studies with anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies suggested that the viruses were distinct from other lyssavirus serotypes. These data were supported by sequencing of the N gene of Aravan virus," scientists in the United States and Japan report. "In the present study, we sequenced the entire N, P, and G genes of both Aravan and Khujand viruses and compared them with...
