Abstract The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to uncertainty and severe health economic concerns. Previous studies indicated that owning a companion animal, such as dog or cat, has benefits for good mental health. Interactions with animals may help depression anxiety, particularly under stress-prone conditions. Human–animal interactions even improve peer-to-peer social relationships, well enhance feelings of respect, trust, empathy between people. Interestingly, it also been shown stress poor...

Domestic dogs are responsible for nearly all the »59,000 global human rabies deaths that occur annually. Numerous control measures have been successful at eliminating dog-mediated in upper-income countries, including dog population management, parenteral vaccination programs, access to vaccines, and education programs bite prevention wound treatment. Implementing these techniques resource-poor settings can be challenging; perhaps greatest challenge is maintaining adequate herd immunity...

The long-term mitigation of human-domestic animal-wildlife conflicts is complex and difficult. Over the last 50 yr, primary biomedical concepts actualized collaborative global field applications oral rabies vaccination to wildlife serve as one dramatic example that revolutionized infectious disease management free-ranging animals. Oral occurred in diverse locales within Africa, Eurasia, Middle East, North America. Although not a candidate for eradication, over billion doses vaccine-laden...

Four novel phylogenetic clades of canine rabies virus (RABV) variants have been identified in the Middle East and North Africa. The three Eastern comprise RABV isolates from borders between Israel neighbouring countries. African clade (Africa 4) comprises four Egypt one Israel. We characterized various lineages antigenically by using a panel monoclonal antibodies to nucleoprotein (N) phylogenetically analysis entire N gene sequences. estimated mean substitution rate for alignment (2.7×10 −4...

As a neglected zoonotic disease, rabies causes approximately 5.9 × 104 human deaths annually, primarily affecting low- and middle-income countries in Asia Africa. In those regions, insufficient surveillance is hampering adequate medical intervention driving the vicious cycle of neglect. Where resources to provide laboratory disease confirmation are limited, there need for user-friendly low-cost reliable diagnostic tools that do not rely on specialized facilities. Lateral flow devices (LFD)...

ABSTRACT A total of 226 isolates rabies virus from different areas Israel, including three human and one sample South Lebanon were identified between 1993 1998 by direct immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies to the viral nucleoprotein (N). An epidemiological survey based on nucleotide sequence analysis 328 bp C terminus N coding region noncoding phosphoprotein (NS gene) was performed. Phylogenetic Israel showed that they related geographically, but not according host species. Five...

Between 1979 and 2000, foxes constituted the main reservoir of rabies in Northern regions Israel. Following implementation fox-targeted oral vaccination programme (ORV) 1998, was eradicated from this area. Subsequently during 2004-2007, biological molecular characterization isolates showed that stray dogs emerged as animal Israel while lower numbers cases were reported domestic animals. The virus differed, their characterization, suggesting two distinct separate lineages. transition...

Rabies is endemic in wildlife or domestic carnivore populations globally. Infection of dogs particular concern many areas. In regions where animals are at risk exposure to rabies virus, should be routinely vaccinated against protect both pet and human populations. Many countries require demonstration an adequate level serum neutralizing antibodies permit entry during international travel. We analysed titres seeking travel certification Israel assess demographic vaccine history factors...
