Lyssaviruses belong to the genus Lyssavirus, within the family Rhabdoviridae and the order Mononegavirales of -ssRNA viruses. The genus Lyssavirus currently includes rabies virus [DS:H00377] and 6 rabies-related viruses. Rabies-related lyssaviruses utilize mostly bats as their principal reservoir hosts as well as various terrestrial carnivores as terminal hosts. They can cause acute, fatal encephalitis similar to that seen with rabies virus infection of humans. There is no effective treatment.
