Rabies is a fatal viral zoonosis caused by rabies virus (RABV). RABV infects the central nervous system and triggers acute encephalomyelitis in both humans and animals. Endemic in the Brazilian Northeast region, RABV emergence in distinct wildlife species has been identified as a source of human rabies infection and as such, constitutes a public health concern. Here, we performed post‐mortem RABV analyses of 144 encephalic tissues from bats sampled from January to July 2022, belonging to 15 different species. We identified phylogenetically distinct RABV from Phyllostomidae and Molossidae bats circulating in Northeastern Brazil. Phylogenetic clustering revealed the close evolutionary relationship between RABV viruses circulating in bats and variants hosted in white‐tufted marmosets, commonly captured to be kept as pets and linked to human rabies cases and deaths in Brazil. Our findings underline the urgent need to implement a phylogenetic‐scale epidemiological surveillance platform to track multiple RABV variants which may pose a threat to both humans and animals.

Epidemiological and clinical features of human rabies in Dazu District, Chongqing, China from 2014 to 2021

The epidemiological and clinical data of human rabies cases in the Dazu District of Chongqing from 2014 to 2021 were analyzed retrospectively to determine the epidemiological and clinical features of human rabies cases in Chonqing, China. Nine cases were reported. All cases occurred in farmers from rural areas associated with lower rabies awareness, and eight cases had a definitive history of animal exposure, most commonly in the form of domestic dog bites. All nine patients presented as manic and died within 1–8 days from disease onset (mortality rate of 100%). Increased public awareness of rabies prevention and control is needed, especially among middle-aged and elderly populations in rural areas.
