Spatial expansions and travelling waves of rabies in vampire bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A major obstacle to anticipating the cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases and developing novel strategies for their control is the scarcity of data informing how these pathogens circulate within natural reservoir populations.

An mRNA-based rabies vaccine induces strong protective immune responses in mice and dogs

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2022
Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease that is mainly caused by the rabies virus (RABV). Although effective vaccines have long existed, current vaccines take both time and cost to produce. Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology is an emergent vaccine platform that

Tracheal collapse rates in Kenyan working cart and pack donkeys

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Donkeys (Equus asinus) in East Africa are recognised as working with poorly designed harnesses and carts. The donkey cart used in regions of Africa, specifically Meru County, Kenya, appears to place the cart's weight solely on the donkey's mid‐cervical region.

Lymph node but not intradermal injection site macrophages are critical for germinal center formation and antibody responses to rabies vaccination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
UNLABELLED: Replication-deficient rabies virus (RABV)-based vaccines induce rapid and potent antibody responses via T cell-independent and T cell-dependent mechanisms. To further investigate early events in vaccine-induced antibody responses against RABV

Flagellins as Vaccine Adjuvants and Cancer Immunotherapy: Recent Advances and Future Prospects

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
The figure depicts the role of flagellin in immune cells. Flagellin interacts with TLR5, resulting in the formation of homodimers and the recruitment of MyD88, which activates the IκB and MAPK signalling pathways. This results in the activation of NF‐κB and AP‐1, producing TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐8, and IL‐12.

Background paper for developing a policy for the use of rabies biologicals and vaccination of humans in India

open access: yesIndian Journal of Public Health, 2019
National Rabies Control Programme, India, is in operation since 2012–2013 without much impact due to poor funding and no set policy for the rabies prevention and control. An effort was made to develop a draft policy paper which can help the Government of

Lyophilisation of influenza, rabies and Marburg lentiviral pseudotype viruses for the development and distribution of a neutralisation-assay based diagnostic kit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pseudotype viruses (PVs) are chimeric, replication-deficient virions that mimic wild-type virus entry mechanisms and can be safely employed in neutralisation assays, bypassing the need for high biosafety requirements and performing comparably to ...

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Comparing Rabies Antibody Titres in Imported Dogs to a Population of Dogs in Ontario, Canada

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Vaccinating dogs against rabies virus is essential for protecting animal and public health. Most dogs imported into Canada must have a valid rabies vaccination certificate but do not require serological testing to confirm response to vaccination.
