Bat Rabies Surveillance in Europe
Rabies is the oldest known zoonotic disease and was also the first recognized bat associated infection in humans. To date, four different lyssavirus species are the causative agents of rabies in European bats: the European Bat Lyssaviruses type 1 and 2 (EBLV-1, EBLV-2), the recently discovered putat...

Rabies is the oldest known zoonotic disease and was also the first recognized bat associated infection in humans.
