Rabies in Sri Lanka: splendid isolation.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Mar 2003

Nanayakkara Susilakanthi, Smith Jean S, Rupprecht Charles E

Abstract excerpt

Rabies virus exists in dogs on Sri Lanka as a single, minimally divergent lineage only distantly related to other rabies virus lineages in Asia. Stable, geographically isolated virus populations are susceptible to local extinction. A fully implemented rabies-control campaign could make Sri Lanka the first Asian country in >30 years to become free of rabies virus.
