Ikoma lyssavirus, highly divergent novel lyssavirus in an African civet

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 18, No. 4, Year 2012

Evidence in support of a novel lyssavirus was obtained from brain samples of an African civet in Tanzania. Results of phylogenetic analysis of nucleoprotein gene sequences from representative Lyssavirus species and this novel lyssavirus provided strong empirical evidence that this is a new lyssavirus species, designated Ikoma lyssavirus.
