Antibody response in ruminants against inactivated cell culture rabies vaccine in Nepal

摘要

Background: Rabies is endemic and priority zoonoses in Nepal. Outbreak of rabies has been reported throughout the year in human, dog, cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, alapaka and mongoose. Pre exposure vaccination is done only in limited number of dogs and cats which is not in practice for ruminents till date. Therefore the control of rabies in livestock is a big challenge. However studies are limited to address this problem.
