Fourteen pregnant women who received rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) at the anti-rabies clinic (ARC) of Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) were followed up for assessing the safety of modern rabies vaccines and equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIG) in pregnancy. The women were in the age range of 18-28 years, mostly from urban area (64%) and exposed to suspect rabid dogs (86%). They had received purified vero cell rabies vaccine (Verorab = 8 and Abhayrab = 4), purified chick embryo cell vaccine (Rabipur = 2) by Essen regimen; and equine rabies immunoglobulin (Equirab = 7 and Pasteur anti-rabies serum = 1). None of the pregnant women reported any adverse events to either vaccine or equine rabies immunoglobulin. All had safe vaginal deliveries and in all cases both the mother and the child were found to be healthy and normal.

Background: The combination of passive immune agents (human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and equine rabies antiserum (ERA)) with vaccines are effective measures for preventing the onset of rabies post exposure. However, ERA and HRIG have potential risks of serum allergic reactions and blood-transmitted infectious diseases. This study compared the safety, pharmacokinetics and neutralizing activity of recombinant human anti-rabies monoclonal antibody NM57 injection (rhRIG, Ormutivimab) and HRIG in combination with rabies vaccine and vaccine alone.

Rabies remains a global health threat despite being preventable with post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). This study assessed one-year humoral and T cell immunity in PEP recipients of the Insitut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) regimen, recommended by WHO. We analyzed rabies virus (RABV) neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and T cell responses at baseline, 7 and 14 days, 6 and 12 months after PEP.

Rabies is endemic in Sudan with continuing outbreaks occurring annually, the most common animals affected are dogs, followed by goats and equids. This work focused on equid rabies, to elucidate the current situation of the disease through analysis of reports of equid rabies outbreaks in Sudan during 2010-2022 supported by laboratory confirmation of the disease. During the study period, 66 animals were affected during 35 equid rabies outbreaks.

Rabies, a zoonotic viral disease, poses a significant threat due to its adaptability to diverse environments. Herbivore rabies, predominantly affecting cattle, horses, and goats in Brazil, remains a concern, results in substantial losses in the livestock industry, and poses risks to public health. Rabies virus transmission, primarily through hematophagous bats in Latin America, underscores the need for effective strategies, and vaccination plays a crucial role in controlling herbivorous rabies, with systematic vaccination beingly the primary method.
