Molecular characterisation of human rabies in East Africa - a case series report and phylogenetic investigation.

2024-07-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>Rabies remains a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. However, human rabies deaths are rarely laboratory-confirmed, especially in Africa. Here, we use rabies virus sequence data to enhance investigations for a series of 5 human rabies deaths in East Africa and discuss the implications of these at individual, healthcare, and societal-l...
