Rabies

Rabies: Scientific Basis of the Disease and Its Management, 5th Edition, edited by Alan C. Jackson and Anthony R. Fooks, delivers a comprehensive reference on rabies biology and clinical disease management. The work establishes foundational concepts in molecular virology, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, and human disease therapy.

The reference examines how the rabies virus acts across different host groups and clinical scenarios. Dedicated chapters evaluate disease manifestations in terrestrial animals, livestock, and bats, detailing host-specific viral behaviors, clinical presentations, and diagnostic protocols needed for accurate disease identification.

Organized across 21 chapters, the text applies a unified One Health framework to connect laboratory discoveries with field containment programs. This volume serves as an evidence-based resource for physicians, veterinarians, public health advisors, epidemiologists, and research scientists evaluating rabies risk, diagnosis, and treatment.
