A genomic analysis of rabies virus samples in India revealed various lineages, with the Arctic-like 1a lineage being the most common. The study included 630 samples from different hosts and regions, highlighting localized transmission patterns with limited movement between states. Findings suggested the necessity of extensive genomic surveillance to aid in rabies control efforts in the country.
