Rabies Vaccines and Immunoglobulins

Dear Colleagues,

Rabies is a typically fatal but vaccine-preventable disease caused by infection with rabies virus (RABV) and other members of the Lyssavirus family. Rabies vaccines and immunoglobulins are essential for the prevention and control of the disease in human and animal populations. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions of original research or review articles to highlight the state of the art and future directions in the development of these biologics. Our scope encompasses use in humans or animals, for pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of current and next-generation rabies vaccines and immunoglobulins; delivery strategies for pre-exposure prophylaxis for domestic animal, wildlife or human populations; cost-effectiveness studies; thermostability; novel adjuvants; non-specific effects of vaccines; preclinical, clinical. or post-marketing studies of new products, regimens, or routes of administration; use of recombinant monoclonal antibodies for post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment.
