Also they all carry Australian rabies.

Do you mean Australian bat lyssavirus?

There is no rabies in Australia. However, Australian bats carry other viruses in the lyssavirus family including Australian bat lyssavirus, which is closely related to rabies.

That's what I said.

So it isn’t rabies but it is identical to rabies.

Does that mean it is just a type of rabies that doesn’t have a treatment?

Maybe the folks at !bats@lemmy.world know the answer.
