•A novel virus (WBRV1) was isolated from wild boar.•WBRV1 belongs to a new genus of Rhabdoviridae.•Neutralizing antibodies were found in domestic pigs and wild Sika deer. A novel rhabdovirus was isolated from the serum of a healthy Japanese wild boar (Sus scrofa leucomystax) and identified using the...
