“…The deviant behavior of the bear led to the suspicion that the animal was rabid. The disease was confirmed by several methods [ 31 , 32 ] and the virus was isolated and sequenced (accession number KP997032). Strikingly, this strain belonged to the Western steppe rabies C1a cluster.…”

Near complete rabies virus N gene sequences (1,110 nt) were determined for 82 isolates obtained from different regions of Russia between 2008 and 2016. These sequences were analyzed together with 108 representative GenBank sequences from 1977–2016 using the Bayesian coalescent approach. The timing of the major evolutionary events was estimated. Most of the isolates represented the steppe rabies virus group C, which was found over a vast geographic region from Central Russia to Mongolia and split into three groups (C0-C2) with discrete geographic prevalence. A single strain of the steppe rabies virus lineage was isolated in the far eastern part of Russia (Primorsky Krai), likely as a result of a recent anthropogenic introduction. For the first time the polar rabies virus group A2, previously reported in Alaska, was described in the northern part of European Russia and at the Franz Josef Land. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that all currently circulating rabies virus groups in the Russian Federation were introduced within the few last centuries, with most of the groups spreading in the 20th century. The dating of evolutionary events was highly concordant with the historical epidemiological data.

“…KY860613, [10]). This isolate belongs to the Arctic-like genetic group, the members of which considerably differ from those of group C. The authors who evaluated the PO-01 isolate [23] hypothesized that this isolate is a common representative of the RABV population in Primorsky Krai. However, there are data in contrast to this hypothesis.…”

Rabies is a fatal disease of mammals that poses a high zoonotic risk to humans as well. The distribution of rabies is mainly driven by host animal migration and human-mediated dispersion. To contribute to the global understanding of the rabies virus (RABV) molecular epidemiology, 94 RABV field isolates collected from animals in 13 European Russian regions were phylogenetically characterized using the nearly full-size N gene nucleotide sequences. According to phylogenetic inferences, all isolates belonged to one of the two established phylogenetic groups, either group C (n = 54) or group D (n = 40), which are part of the clade Cosmopolitan of RABVs. Some representatives of group C collected from regions located far apart from each other had a remarkably high level of nucleotide identity. The possibility of the contribution of local bat species to the distribution of RABVs was discussed. Interestingly, over the years, the fraction of group D isolates has been constantly decreasing compared with that of group C isolates. The phylogenetic insights generated herein might have an important contribution to the control and surveillance of animal rabies epidemiology in the region.

“…A few cases (seven black bears) were reported in Ontario, Canada (Walroth, Brown, Wandeler, Casey, & MacInnes, ), and on 1 November 1989, the first confirmed case of rabies in a polar bear ( U. maritimus ) was encountered by Inuit hunters in the vicinity of Cape Kendall, Southampton Island, Northwest Territories, Canada (Taylor, Elkin, Maier, & Bradley, ). A rabies virus clustering in the Eurasian genetic subgroup of genotype 1 was isolated and sequenced from a brown bear that had attacked a person in Barabash (Khasan region of Primorsky Krai, Russian Federation) in November 2014 (Shchelkanov et al, ).…”

Captive and free-ranging wild bears can carry and transmit several zoonotic pathogens. A review of nearly 90 years of scientific publications concerning confirmed and potential zoonotic diseases that can be present in any of the eight species of bears in the world was conducted. The findings were organized amongst the following disease sections: bacterial, viral, protozoal, mycotic, helminth and arthropod-borne.The most commonly reported pathogens of concern were of parasitic (Trichinella, Toxoplasma) and bacterial (Francisella, Brucella) origin.
