Genotypic and phenotypic diversity of rabies virus variants involved in human rabies: implications for postexposure prophylaxis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Rabies virus variants associated with silver-haired bats (SHBRV) are responsible for most recent human rabies cases in the United States, which are not associated with a history of exposure. We compared their genotype and phenotype with those of dog rabies virus (DRV) variants, the classic cause of rabies in humans, to determine whether differences in these strains might have ramifications for...
