Argentina is currently in a controlled situation regarding rabies virus transmission, with sporadic human cases, a status achieved, although not always constant, thanks to coordinated political and healthcare measures directed to zoonosis control. For ex
In Latin America, most rabies cases in humans and domestic animals originate from bites inflicted by the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) (Fig. 5), one of the only three mammal species 100% dependent on blood to survive [56, 63]. The species has a broad geographic range, and ...
Amplicon-based sequencing was carried out to compare rabies viruses from the five human cases to those from recent animal rabies cases in the region using a previously described protocol [23]. Full details of the laboratory procedures are found in Supplementary File 1. Due to the poor sample co...
[3]. The human transmission vectors for rabies may vary around the world. For example, in US 70% of cases were associated with bats [1], and in Nepal 96% cases are due to dog bites [3]. In Nepal, different government and non-government agencies are involved in rabies control and ...
Rabies control and prevention programs are mainly concentrated to Kathmandu Valley and other urban areas; but has hardly reached to the rural far off areas of Nepal which account for 94% of total reported dog bites and rabies cases [5]. However, in the recent years, with the efforts of ...
Most human rabies cases have been reported in remote areas, where dog surveillance is inadequate. Therefore, a strategy to effectively improve surveillance in remote areas will increase the number of detections. Detecting pathogens using portable real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (...
