| Encephalitis is a severe neurologic syndrome caused by a variety of infectious and noninfectious pathologies. In many instances a definitive etiology of encephalitis is not identified, but a study of encephalitis in California found that 0.3% of cases referred for further evaluation to a specialized diagnostic facility (Glaser, Gilliam et al. 2003) was due to rabies. Under recognition of human rabies in the United States by healthcare providers may account for missed diagnoses of rabies. The purpose of this investigation was to estimate the number of encephalitis-related deaths in the United States and the proportion due to rabies specifically. We reviewed human mortality data in the United States between 1999-2008 and identified encephalitis-associated... |

| Among the currently recognized species in the Lyssavirus genus worldwide, all but one (Mokola virus) has been identified in bats. Recent discovery of emerging pathogens of zoonotic importance in bats raises concerns about health risks of populations that directly or indirectly come in contact with these diverse mammals. Idanre, an ancient city situated in Southwest Nigeria, conducts a unique bat festival twice annually, where the populations have traditional practices that involve capturing and consuming bats. These activities bring them into direct contact with bats that are important not only because of potential exposure to lyssaviruses, but also to other emerging pathogens. A knowledge, attitude and practices survey was developed and administered to... |
