Title

DEVELOPMENT IN IMMUNOPROPHYLAXIS AGAINST RABIES FOR ANIMALS AND HUMANS

Pages

  3-21

Abstract

 Rabies is a fatal neurological disease and a persistent global problem. It is spread primarily by domestic dogs but other canid, viverrid (skunks and raccoons) and chiropteran species are considered as the most efficient vectors of the disease. Since dogs are the main perpetuator of RABIES, special attention has to be given to bring all the dogs including unauthorized stray dogs under immunization umbrella in order to control RABIES. VACCINATION is the only way to combat the disease before and after exposure or infection as there is no treatment available once the symptoms have appeared. After the first crude nerve tissue vaccine developed by Pasteur in 1885, a number of RABIES vaccines for animal and human use have been developed with varying degree of safety and efficacy over the years. Presently, cell culture based inactivated RABIES vaccines are largely used in most of the parts of the world. However, these vaccines are too expensive and unaffordable for VACCINATION of people and animals in developing countries. The comparatively cheaper inactivated nerve tissues vaccines can cause serious side-effects such as autoimmune encephalomyelitis in inoculated animals and production has been discontinued in several countries. Although attenuated live vaccines can efficiently elicit a protective immune response with a smaller amount of virus, they sometimes can cause RABIES in the inoculated animals by its residual virulence or pathogenic mutation during viral propagation in the body. New generation RABIES vaccines generated by gene manipulation although in experimental stage may be a suitable alternative to overcome the disadvantages of the live attenuated vaccines. So, awareness must be created in general public about the disease and the cell culture based vaccines available in the market should be recommended for wide scale use to prevent and control this emerging and reemerging infectious disease in foreseeable future.
