Article Synopsis
- * Next generation sequencing (NGS) successfully identified European bat lyssavirus type 1a in the patient's brain tissue, confirming the cause of death, despite the diagnosis not suggesting rabies.
- * The findings highlight the importance of NGS in detecting rare viruses and suggest that individuals in close contact with bats should consider rabies vaccinations, which are effective against EBLV-1.

This first extensive retrospective study of the molecular epidemiology of dog rabies in Cambodia included 149 rabies virus (RABV) entire nucleoprotein sequences obtained from 1998-2011. The sequences were analyzed in conjunction with RABVs from other Asian countries. Phylogenetic reconstruction confirmed the South-East Asian phylogenetic clade comprising viruses from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.

Rabies is a worldwide zoonosis resulting from Lyssavirus infection. In Europe, Eptesicus serotinus is the most frequently reported bat species infected with Lyssavirus, and thus considered to be the reservoir of European bat Lyssavirus type 1 (EBLV-1). To date, the role of other bat species in EBLV-1 epidemiology and persistence remains unknown.
