The Americas is the only region with bat rabies virus, including vampire bat rabies. The region is rich in cultural references and notable for many discoveries in the field, including the current vaccine potency test, diagnostic assay, conception of oral vaccines for wildlife, the first human survivor and the first successful canine rabies program executed at a broad level. Rabies remains the most important viral zoonosis, with tens of thousands of human fatalities and tens of millions of exposures annually, which can be used to model for other pathogens, such as COVID-19. There is an international effort to eliminate human rabies caused by dogs over the next decade, and the Americas represent the primary region with the greatest proof-of-concept evidence to accomplish this goal. This two-volume set addresses the medical history and modern resultsof rabies in countries throughout the Americas, including the implications of and on cultural, economic, sociological, and research developments in the region. Volume I presents an overview of concepts critical to the study of rabies in the region, including evolutionary aspects, reservoir ecology and control, elimination efforts, vaccine development, and disease hallmarks and progression. It also analyzes the long-term cultural, social, and economic impacts of the disease in the Americas. . 410 0$aFascinating Life Sciences,$x2509-6753 606 $aImmunology 606 $aVirology 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aVaccines$xBiotechnology 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aImmunology 606 $aVirology 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aBiomaterials-Vaccines 615 0$aImmunology. 615 0$aVirology. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aVaccines$xBiotechnology. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 14$aImmunology. 615 24$aVirology. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aBiomaterials-Vaccines. 676 $a616.953 702 $aRupprecht$b Charles Edward 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910717416703321 996 $aHistory of Rabies in the Americas: From the Pre-Columbian to the Present, Volume I$93567588 997 $aUNINA
