Imported Episodic Rabies Increases Patient Demand for and Physician Delivery of Antirabies Prophylaxis

BACKGROUND Imported cases threaten rabies reemergence in rabies-free areas. During 2000-2005, five dog and one human rabies cases were imported into France, a rabies-free country since 2001. The Summer 2004 event led to unprecedented media warnings by the French Public Health Director. We investigated medical practice evolution following the official elimination of rabies in 2001; impact of sub...

Monoclonal antibody studies on rabies-related viruses.

Rabies and rabies-related viruses are divided into four serotypes, although it has been suggested that the inclusion of European bat lyssaviruses results in six genotypes. Sixty-four rabies-related viruses were tested against a panel of 36 anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies prepared from the immunization of Balb/c mice with five prototypic rabies-related viruses. Reaction patterns obtained...

Spatial Control of Rabies on Heterogeneous Landscapes

Rabies control in terrestrial wildlife reservoirs relies heavily on an oral rabies vaccine (ORV). In addition to direct ORV delivery to protect wildlife in natural habitats, vaccine corridors have been constructed to control the spread; these corridors are often developed around natural barriers, such as rivers, to enhance the effectiveness of vaccine deployment. However, the question of how to...
