    63 NIH tests were analysed. A BPL inactivated tissue culture rabies vaccine No. 108 was compared with the national standard vaccine A 18 fourteen times in different tests. The results show that reproduction of results is unsatisfactory with the NIH test and that this test in its present traditional method with two injections is not very suitable for satisfactory potency evaluation of inactivated rabies vaccines. Proposals for modifications are made.

    Rabies

    Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
