Phylogenetic analysis of rabies viruses from Burkina Faso, 2007

Zoonoses Public Health. 2010 Dec;57(7-8):e42-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1863-2378.2009.01291.x.

Abstract

Genetic characterization of 32 canine rabies viruses circulating in Burkina Faso in 2007 identified two clades both belonging to the Africa 2 lineage. Sequence homology data suggest that transboundary spread is the most likely means of introduction, highlighting an evolving epidemiological situation.
