In Finland, rabies in bats was suspected for the first time in 1985 when a bat researcher, who had multiple bat bites, died in Helsinki. The virus isolated from the researcher proved to be antigenically related to rabies viruses previously detected in German bats. Later, the virus was typed as EBLV-2b. Despite an epidemiological study in bats 1986 and subsequent rabies surveillance, rabies in b...

Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that use cell proteins to take the control of the cell functions in order to accomplish their life cycle. Studying the viral-host interactions would increase our knowledge of the viral biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis. Studies on pathogenesis mechanisms of lyssaviruses, which are the causative agents of rabies, have revealed some important ho...

Since bat rabies surveillance was first implemented in France in 1989, 48 autochthonous rabies cases without human contamination have been reported using routine diagnosis methods. In this retrospective study, data on bats submitted for rabies testing were analysed in order to better understand the epidemiology of EBLV-1 in bats in France and to investigate some epidemiological trends. Of the 3...

Construction of thèTwo-degree Field' (2dF) instrument on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) is now virtually complete and commissioning is well underway. The key components are described. Several recent milestones are reported, including the rst scientiic results. Future prospects and plans are discussed.

Rabies is the oldest most feared zoonotic disease of world, affecting animals and human beings, responsible for approximately 55,000 deaths annually worldwide. virus (RABV) belongs to genus Lyssavirus, family Rhabdoviridae, under order Mononegavirales. The transmission RABV mainly occurred through bite rabid in 99% cases dogs are spread virus. present study was conducted molecular characterizat...

Rabies, resulting from infection by Rabies virus (RABV) and related lyssaviruses, is one of the most deadly zoonotic diseases and is responsible for up to 70,000 estimated human deaths worldwide each year. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis of rabies is essential for timely administration of post-exposure prophylaxis in humans and control of the disease in animals. Currently, only the dire...

BACKGROUND Rabies is preventable by pre- and/or post-exposure prophylaxis consisting of series of rabies vaccinations and in some cases the use of immunoglobulins. The success of vaccination can be estimated either by measuring virus neutralising antibodies or by challenge experiment. Vaccines based on rabies virus offer cross-protection against other lyssaviruses closely related to rabies viru...

he purpose of this study was to analyze the genomic information glycoprotein gene rabies virus (RABV) in several countries Asia. The genomics vaccine strain and some local isolates were retrieved from GeneBank® (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA). Ten informations are consist ERA virus, two viruses Indonesia, a Myanmar, India, Nepal, South Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Iran. This bi...
