Rabies in Southern and Eastern Africa. Workshop. (1993, Pretoria, South Africa); Fekadu, M.; Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand
(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Dog rabies is still epizootic in most countries of Africa, Asia and South America and in these countries
dogs are responsible for most human deaths from the disease. The incubation period in dogs may vary
from one week ...

Nucleic acid sequence analysis was used to determine the phylogenetic relationships amongst rabies
viruses isolated from typical canid hosts such as bat-eared fox, jackal and dog in South Africa (SA).

King, A.A.; Rabies in Southern and Eastern Africa. Workshop. (1993, Pretoria, South Africa); Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand
(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Rabies and rabies-related viruses are divided into four serotypes, although it has been suggested that
the inclusion of European bat lyssaviruses results in six genotypes. Sixty-four rabies-related viruses
were tested ...

Macdonald, David W.; Rabies in Southern and Eastern Africa. Workshop. (1993, Pretoria, South Africa); Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand
(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Understanding the behavioural ecology of wild mammals in rabies epizootics is a prerequisite to scientifically
sound management of the disease. The principal vectors of wildlife rabies in a region tend to be
abundant ...

(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Rabies in bat-eared foxes was first recognized in South Africa in 1955 and is likely to have been derived
from canine rabies introduced to South Africa in 1950. Since then it has become established in this
species in the ...

The first confirmed outbreak of rabies in Africa, believed to have followed the importation of an infected
dog from England in 1892, occurred in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and was brought under
control ...

A serosurvey of rabies antibodies among domestic dogs (Canis familiaris, n=178), spotted hyaenas (Crocuta
crocuta, n=72) and African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus, n=18) of the Masai Mara, Kenya, was carried
out. Rabies ...

Virus isolates from three important reservoirs for rabies in Africa (domestic dogs, jackals and yellow
mongooses) were compared by their reaction with a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed to the
nucleocapsid protein ...

Differences in the social systems and behaviour of two potentially important hosts of rabies, the African
wild dog and the spotted hyaena, may lead to differences in the epizootiology of the disease in the two
species. ...
