Rabies

During the past decade several major advances have contributed to our understanding of the basic virology, pathogenesis, and molecular epidemiology and diagnosis of rabies and to the development of effective programs for its control in wildlife. Despite these advances rabies remains a major health problem in developing countries and has also reemerged in the United States in the 1990s due to bat rabies virus variants.
