Duvenhage lyssavirus (DUVV) is a member of the genus North West Province, South Africa, 80 km from the 1970 infection.[3] He developed a rabies-like illness 27 days after the bat encounter, and died 14 days after the onset of illness. A 34-year-old woman who died in Amsterdam on December 8, 2007, was the third recorded fatality. She had been scratched on the nose by a small bat while travelling through Kenya in October 2007, and was admitted to hospital four weeks later with rabies-like symptoms.[4]
Nycteris thebaica,[3] and the virus is closely related to another bat-associated lyssavirus endemic to Africa, Lagos bat lyssavirus
