TL;DR: In this article, a virologic, molecular, and cellular study of the olfactory neuroepithelium of seven patients with COVID-19 presenting with acute loss of smell was conducted.

TL;DR: A progressive characterization of the strain is described that could be extended from rapid typing by a limited panel of restriction enzymes, to the ultimate identification of the nucleotide sequence by an original direct sequencing technique of amplified segments.

TL;DR: Overall rates of nucleotide substitution in rabies virus were similar to those observed in other RNA viruses, and it was estimated that the current genetic diversity in lyssavirus genotype 1 may have arisen only during the last 500 years.

TL;DR: An optimized reverse transcription (RT)-PCR protocol for the intravitam detection of rabies virus genomic RNA was tested with clinical samples obtained from 28 patients suspected of having rabies, 9 of whom were confirmed to have had rabies by postmortem examination.

TL;DR: It is proposed that EBL1 and EBL2 constitute two distinct genotypes which further serologic characterization will probably classify as new serotypes and a simple method for the rapid characterization of EBL is reported based on the digestion of the polymerase chain reaction product of the N gene by three restriction endonucleases.
