Such viruses could form the basis of future vaccines for rabies (reviewed by Hicks et al[41]) and one variant has been trialled as an oral vaccine for wildlife[42]. The method of attenuation falls into two categories. The first are those constructs that have a gene deletion, usually the...

C. Boiled pig intestines were used as coating for the oral vaccines, after piloting other alternatives. Dogs were observed until they ate the ORV bait or lost interest in it. Aggressive, scared, or dogs with no identifiable owner, were offered an ORV bait when parenteral vaccination was not ...
Mass vaccinations of domestic dogs have been shown to effectively control canine rabies and hence human exposure to rabies. Knowledge of dog population demography is essential for planning effective rabies vaccination programmes; however, such informatio
