Article Abstract

Bat rabies cases are attributed in Europe to five different Lyssavirus species of 16 recognized Lyssavirus species causing rabies. One of the most genetically divergent Lyssavirus spp. has been detected in a dead Miniopterus schreibersii bat in France. Brain samples were found positive for the presence of antigen, infectious virus and viral RNA by classical virological methods and molecular methods respectively. The complete genome sequence was determined by next-generation sequencing. The analysis of the complete genome sequence confirmed the presence of Lleida bat lyssavirus (LLEBV) in bats in France with 99.7% of nucleotide identity with the Spanish LLEBV strain (KY006983).

Among lyssaviruses, West Caucasian bat virus (WCBV) and Lleida bat lyssavirus (LLEBV) raise concern as their divergence from rabies virus leads to the inefficacy of available prophylactic agents. Both viruses were described in the bat . We investigated the European distribution of WCBV and LLEBV by screening sera from across eight countries, finding widespread serological evidence and positivity up to 70%.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of understanding the role of animals in the transmission of coronaviruses (CoVs) and their impact on human health. A One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health, is essential for effective CoVs control. Next-generation sequencing has played a pivotal role in identifying and monitoring the evolution of novel CoVs strains, like SARS-CoV-2.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
  • Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
  • The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.

Article Synopsis
  • The study identifies two new rabies-related viruses from bats in Limpopo, South Africa: Matlo bat lyssavirus (MBLV) and Phala bat lyssavirus (PBLV), discovered in different years.
  • Both viruses are linked to existing lyssaviruses, with MBLV closely related to West Caucasian bat lyssavirus (WCBV) and PBLV to Taiwan bat lyssaviruses (TWBLV-1 and TWBLV-2).
  • Genetic and antigenic analysis suggests PBLV may be a new species, while MBLV is likely closely associated with WCBV, indicating distinct classifications within lyssaviruses.
