Abstract

1. Rabies occurs worldwide, and is increasing in many developing countries as well as in Western Europe. 2. Corneal transplants from patients dying from undiagnosed CNSD have resulted in rabies. 3. Trials of an oral vaccine immunisation concealed in baits for wildlife are currently being tried in France. 4. Human diploid cell rabies (HDCV) is used for prophylactic and postexposure treatment.
