Rabies remains one of the most important global public health problems worldwide. Although many important developments have been made over the past century to combat this ancient disease, Rabies has become a re-emergent infection in the developing world. The 3e updates this classic reference with comprehensive coverage of the molecular virology, pathogenesis, vaccines, public health, immunology, and epidemiology of Rabies. Chapters new to this edition cover biothreat/bioterrorism, successful wildlife control and therapies of human Rabies, and the emergence of new lyssavirus species Rabies provides physicians, public health advisors, epidemiologists, research scientists and veterinarians with single source, authoritative and up-to-date information on the diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention of this fatal infectious virus that continues to kill over 70,000 people a year.

Rabies remains a significant global public health risk with over 70,000 deaths a year Alan Jackson a well-known researcher in this subject and has gathered a team of experts to detail the science, treatment, and control of Rabies Completely revised, the 3e presents Rabies as a re-emergent infection with greater emphasis on a global perspective of the virus Provides essential information to anyone diagnosing, treating, controlling and preventing the disease 70 full-color figures highlight important information in microscopic studies

Rabies: Basis of the Disease and Its Management, Fourth Edition is an authoritative reference on the current status of rabies, including the virological, clinical, and public health aspects and management recommendations. Rabies remains one of the most important global public health problems worldwide. Although many important developments have been made over the past century to combat this disease, rabies has become a re-emergent infection in the resource-constrained countries. The Fourth Edition updates this classic reference with comprehensive coverage of the molecular virology, pathogenesis, immunology, vaccines, public health aspects, and epidemiology of rabies and is completely revised, with new chapters that will cover historical developments in rabies intervention strategies, the evolution of rabies virus, modeling rabies control, and on the strategy for rabies elimination. Rabies, Fourth Edition, provides physicians, veterinarians, public health advisors, epidemiologists, and research scientists with a single source for authoritative and up-to-date information on the diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention of this fatal infectious virus.

Edited by renowned researchers in this subject and has gathered a team of experts to detail the science, treatment, and control of rabies Completely revised, the Fourth Edition presents rabies as a re-emergent infection with emphasis on a global perspective of the disease Includes new chapters the evolution of the rabies virus and on modeling rabies control and includes many full-color figures that highlight important information

Rabies: Scientific Basis of the Disease and its Management, Fifth Edition is an authoritative reference that delves into the virological, clinical, and public health facets of rabies. This new edition provides insights into the molecular virology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, immunology, treatment, epidemiology, and public health strategies for managing rabies. It also includes discussions on the One Health approach to rabies, global implications, and setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the book serves as an essential resource for physicians, veterinarians, public health advisors, epidemiologists, and research scientists, offering current information on diagnosing, treating, controlling, and preventing this deadly infectious disease.Edited by renowned researchers who have gathered an international team of expert contributors to detail the science, treatment, and control of rabiesEmphasizes a global perspective of rabies as a re-emergent infectionDiscusses the roles of international organizations such as the WHO, World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) (previously OIE), and Global Alliance for Rabies ControlAddresses the global impact and setbacks on rabies-related issues from the COVID-19 pandemic

Viral infections of the nervous system are important because they are associated with high morbidity and mortality. A variety of pathogenetic mechanisms are involved in these infections and an understanding of the pathogenesis is essential in understanding the diagnostic and clinical management aspects of the disease. Specialized investigations are often necessary for definitive diagnosis, although a presumptive diagnosis should often be suspected on the basis of the clinical features. Many of the chapters in this book are written by neurologists who are experts in basic science research of their topic in addition to active clinical practice in their specialty.
