Isolation and identification of a novel rabies virus lineage in China with natural recombinant nucleoprotein gene.

Rabies virus (RABV) causes severe neurological disease and death. As an important mechanism for generating genetic diversity in viruses, homologous recombination can lead to the emergence of novel virus strains with increased virulence and changed host tropism. However, it is still unclear whether r...
