Lyssavirus P gene characterisation provides insights into the phylogeny of the genus and identifies structural similarities and diversity within the encoded phosphoprotein.

Abstract excerpt

A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the Lyssavirus genus, employing P gene sequences from 128 isolates recovered globally, is presented. While confirming prior suggestions of the genetic distinctness of the Australian bat lyssaviruses, these data also revealed a clear division within the rabies virus clade (Genotype 1) between globally distributed viruses circulating predominantly in canid species (subgroup...
