Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition to having one of the highest fatality rates of all zoonotic pathogens known to date, rabies is a preventable disease when post-exposure prophylaxis is administered in a timely and appropriate manner. The development of new diagnostic methods, including molecular testing, has led to an increase in the use of molecular assays such as NGS, WGS, and ddPCR in rabies diagnostics. Vaccine development, therapeutics, and our ability to evaluate immune response have likewise advanced. This Special Issue will be devoted to research on rabies virus pathogenesis, immunology, vaccine strategies for animals and humans, novel diagnostics, and drug development.
Both original research reports and review articles are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contribution to Pathogens.
Dr. April D. Davis
