During 2012 to 2013, rabies has re-emerged in wild and domestic animals in northern Greece. By end March 2013, rabies was diagnosed in 17 animals including 14 red foxes, two shepherd dogs and one cat; 104 subsequent human exposures required post-exposure prophylaxis according to the World ...
Current medical emphasis relies heavily on prevention of exposure and intervention before clinical onset. Prophylaxis encompasses thorough wound treatment, vaccine administration, and inoculation of rabies immunoglobulin. Although it is a major zoonosis, canine rabies can be eliminated, and application of ...

Complete postexposure prophylaxis with 4 doses of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) in a previously vaccinated (nonnave) individual results in administration of two extra ARV doses resulting in wastages of precious resources comprising vaccine logistics, human resources, physician, and patient time. This cr...
Militaries around the world have also implemented chemoprophylaxis programs against specific threats. The U.S. military has guidelines for different infectious diseases including pre-exposure prophylaxis for malaria during deployments to affected areas and post-exposure prophylaxis for anthrax and meningococ...

Beside the previously mentioned parasitic diseases, NTDs of viral origin are also involved in the list, among them are as follows: (1) rabies, which is one of the most serious re-emerging zoonotic NTDs—the free movement of wild animals represents a great obstacle in disease control (El-Saye...
Two of the eligible studies evaluated rabies antibody titers in dogs, comparing the levels in confined dogs as against free-roaming or hunting dogs in a bid to determine the level of protection conferred (if any) by vaccines or from exposure to the virus. On the other hand, some of the ...
Recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vectors have shown promising results, inducing high titers of HeV G-specific antibodies, surpassing those elicited by recombinant rabies virus vectors. This approach leverages the safety and established track record of rhabdoviral vaccine vectors [88]. A subunit ...
