Rabies: A Deadly Infection Needs Control

Rabies has been reported to be the oldest viral infection affecting humans through animal. Although vaccine was developed but due to different reservoirs (wild and domestic animals like dog, foxes, raccoons, skunks, Coyotes, yellow mongoose, Indian mongoose, bats) and different incubation period and new infection pattern, control has become difficult. About 95% human deaths due to rabies have taken place in Asia and Africa.
