| dc.description | DATA AVAILABILITY: The phala bat Lyssavirus sequence has been deposited in GenBank under the accession number OQ970171. The version described in this paper is the first version. Raw reads were deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive available at PRJNA971078 under the accession numbers PRJNA971078 (BioProject) and SAMN35019052 (BioSample). The sequence data used for bat identification have been deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers OR096071 (12s rRNA gene) OR091287 (COI gene) and OR105696 (Cytb gene). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | We report the coding-complete sequence of a lyssavirus, provisionally designated Phala bat lyssavirus (PBLV), characterized using a metagenomics approach. PBLV was identified in a Nycticeinops schlieffeni bat that exhibited neurological signs and died within 24 hours of admission to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Phalaborwa, South Africa. | en_US |
