About Australian bat lyssavirus
Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is closely related to the rabies virus. It is unique to Australia.
Any bat in Australia, including flying foxes, could carry ABLV.
ABLV causes a rare but serious disease in people and some other animals.
It most often spreads to people through a bite or scratch from an infected bat. Anyone who might have been exposed to ABLV should take urgent action to reduce their risk of getting ABLV.
Even people who have had previous vaccination for rabies need to seek urgent medical attention if they are exposed – they might need extra vaccine doses.
