despite being genetically and serologically distinct from the others. Visually, ABLV is a bullet shaped virus. Molecularly, ABLV is an enveloped, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. The (-)ssRNA genome is relatively small, containing 12 kilobases of genetic material and encoding five viral proteins. The five viral proteins, their symbol, and their functional roles are:

Viral entry mechanism and intracellular trafficking

ABLV has a similar entry mechanism to other rabies viruses, utilizing receptor-mediated endocytosis
