Abstract

The rabies virus, which belongs to the genus Lyssavirus, the family Rhabdoviridae, is the causative agent of rabies, a contagious, deadly, and progressive neurological infection. This illness is commonly distributed worldwide and affects all warm-blooded animals. Regarding the zoonotic aspects of rabies, the prevalence of rabies was investigated in this study. Over 2 years, 188 samples were examined via the direct fluorescent antibody test (DFAT) and mouse inoculation test (MIT) techniques by using brain tissue samples. Our findings showed that 73.94% of samples were rabies positive. The highest number of samples belonged to cows and dogs, respectively. The positivity rate in cows was 71.88%, followed by dogs with a 57.78% infection rate. These findings suggested that despite the heavy monitoring protocols in Iran, rabies is still a prevalent disease, and it is advised that vaccinations and screening programs should be carried out more frequently with heavier observation.

伊朗北部Shomal Pasteur研究所收到的狂犬病病例比较:一项为期2年的研究。

狂犬病毒属于狂犬病毒属，狂犬病毒科，是狂犬病的病原体，狂犬病是一种传染性、致命性和进行性神经感染。这种疾病普遍分布在世界各地，影响所有温血动物。关于狂犬病的人畜共患方面，本研究调查了狂犬病的流行情况。在2年多的时间里，通过直接荧光抗体试验(DFAT)和小鼠接种试验(MIT)技术对188个样本进行了脑组织样本检测。结果显示，73.94%的样本为狂犬病阳性。样本数量最多的分别是牛和狗。奶牛感染率为71.88%，犬次之，感染率为57.78%。这些发现表明，尽管在伊朗有严格的监测方案，狂犬病仍然是一种流行疾病，建议应更频繁地开展疫苗接种和筛查计划，并进行更严格的观察。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
