Abstract

A study was performed to identify the Rabies Virus genomes circulating in Nepal in 2009. Three brain samples, collected from carcass of buffalo, human and dog infected with Rabies were sent to Pasteur Institute, in France for molecular characterization and identification. The entire nucleoprotein genes (NG) of these samples were sequenced and analyzed phylogenically. Sample from buffalo was identified as Indian subcontinent lineage where as samples from human and dog were identified as Arctic lineage of Rabies virus.
