Location

  • Duvenhage affets the Central Nervous System, primarily the brain.
  • Duvenhage is a lyssavirus, so people with the Duvenhage virus suffer the same symptoms as rabies.
  • Symptoms similar to the flu, including general weakness or discomfort, headache or fever.
  • First discovered in 1970.
  • Discovered when South American farmer died of a rabies-like encephalitis illness after being bitten by a bat.
  • Duvenhage is classified as a Virus.
  • The natural resevoir of the Duvenhage virus are insecivorous bats in South Africa.
  • The virus has been known to spread to humans through a single scratch or bite.
  • Duvenhage has been reported to have infected people in South Africa.
  • I believe that Duvenhage is most common in South Africa because the bats that spread the disease are insecivorous and may be the resevoir because of the types of bugs that they eat.
