The genus Lyssavirus includes rabies virus as well as multiple diverse and recently described novel species. Using next-generation sequencing technologies, we have obtained the whole-genome sequence of Matlo bat lyssavirus, which was isolated from a Natal long-fingered bat ( Miniopterus natalensis ) in South Africa.
