ICTV: https://ictv.global/report/chapter/rhabdoviridae/rhabdoviridae/lyssavirus
Genotype info: Belongs to Genotype 7 of the Lyssavirus genotypes and has two sub-lineages: the yellow-bellied sheathtail bat variant and the pteropid variant. (Source: WHA)
Demarcation criteria:
- Species:
  - A) Genetic distances, with the threshold of 78-80% nt identity for the complete N gene, provide better quantitative resolution compared to other genes, or 80% nt identity for concatenated coding regions of N+P+M+G+L;
  - B) In phylogenetic trees based on the entire N, or G, or L gene sequences, or concatenated N+P+M+G+L coding sequences, the new virus does not represent a sister branch to a virus from an established species. Instead, it is placed ancestrally to a group (cluster) of phylogenetically-related viruses that belong to several established species. (Source: ICTV)
- Genotype: Phylogenetic comparison of the N gene or whole genome sequences. (Source: https://doi.org/10.11134/btp.4.2022.15)
