Abstract
We detected 3 lyssaviruses in insectivorous bats sampled in South Africa during 2003–2018. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify Duvenhage lyssavirus and a
potentially new lyssavirus, provisionally named Matlo bat
lyssavirus, that is related to West Caucasian bat virus.
These new detections highlight that much about lyssaviruses remains unknown.
