Here we report the second encounter of this virus species in Germany. A Daubenton #146;s bat found grounded in the zoological garden in Magdeburg died shortly after. In the frame of a retrospective study the bat carcass was eventually transferred to the national reference laboratory for rabies at the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute for rabies diagnosis. Lyssavirus was isolated and characterized as EBLV-2.}, year = {2012}, journal = {Berliner und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift}, volume = {125}, pages = {255-258}, month = {05/2012}, publisher = {Schlütersche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co.
