Résumé
We report the complete genome sequence of a rabies virus obtained by direct metagenomics from the cerebellum of a gold panner who died of unknown encephalitis in French Guiana. Phylogenetic analysis exhibited a close genetic relationship with vampire bat-related isolates, confirming the second case of human rabies identified in this territory.
