Rabies in the Americas and remarks on global aspects

J H Steele. Rev Infect Dis. 1988 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

The natural history of rabies from the 1930s to the present is described in a setting of its global epidemiology. The people who inaugurated many of the rabies control programs and the animal species that have been known to transmit rabies and cause outbreaks are reviewed. The education of government agencies and public health authorities as well as veterinarians and research scientists about rabies control is considered as a worldwide problem.
