MODERN ASPECTS OF LYSSAVIRUS CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

Rabies is one of the most pressing challenges for human and veterinary medicine. Lyssavirus genus comprises classical rabies virus and 13 other genotypes the most of which were isolated from bats. Updated information on taxonomy and phylogenetic and antigenic relationship of lyssaviruses are given in the review. The first phylogenetic group includes Rabies lyssavirus, Duvenhage lyssavirus, European bat lyssavirus type 1 and 2, Australian bat lyssavirus, Bokeloh bat lyssavirus, Aravan lyssavirus, Khujand lyssavirus and Irkut lyssavirus. The second phylogenetic group includes Lagos bat lyssavirus, Mokola lyssavirus and Shimoni bat lyssavirus. Cross serological neutralization within these two phylogenetic groups and limited cross neutralization between these two phylogenetic groups were revealed. West Caucasian bat lyssavirus is classified to the third phylogenetic group whereas Ikoma lyssavirus is classified to the fourth one. Lleida virus recently isolated from bats in Spain supposedly belongs to the fourth group. The most of rabies cases in humans and animals are caused by classical rabies virus (Rabies lyssavirus). Available anti-rabies vaccines protect from lyssaviruses of the first group but do not protect from viruses of other phylogenetic groups. That's why further investigations of recovered rabies isolates and new vaccine development are of great importance.
