“…The virus is grown in Vero cells, chemically inactivated, purified more or less extensively and supplemented with adjuvants. In all cases, inactivation is carried out by betapropiolacton (BPL), which has been successfully used for the preparation of other inactivated vaccines, such as rabies vaccines [ 66 ].…”

“…Used for decades in large parts of the world, production of the Semple vaccine has now been discontinued, although it is still produced for human or animal use in a few countries in Africa [ 4 ]. The development and evolution of these and other modern rabies vaccines have been covered in detail elsewhere [ 19 , 79 , 80 ].…”

“…After the world’s first rabies vaccine for dogs was developed in Japan in 1915, Umeno and Doi developed a single-dose canine rabies vaccine suitable for mass production in 1920 [ 98 , 99 ]. This vaccine was used for mass vaccination of dogs in Japan from 1924–25 [ 80 , 99 ]. In this context, experimental studies to develop a method of veterinary PEP (“anti-rabic inoculation of dogs bitten by rabid dogs”), presumably for valuable owned dogs, had begun at the Punjab Veterinary College in Lahore from 1915, also including horses in later years.…”

Rabies as a Public Health Concern in India—A Historical Perspective

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

India bears the highest burden of global dog-mediated human rabies deaths. Despite this, rabies is not notifiable in India and continues to be underprioritised in public health discussions. This review examines the historical treatment of rabies in British India, a disease which has received relatively less attention in the literature on Indian medical history. Human and animal rabies was widespread in British India, and treatment of bite victims imposed a major financial burden on the colonial Government of India. It subsequently became a driver of Pasteurism in India and globally and a key component of British colonial scientific enterprise. Efforts to combat rabies led to the establishment of a wide network of research institutes in India and important breakthroughs in development of rabies vaccines. As a result of these efforts, rabies no longer posed a significant threat to the British, and it declined in administrative and public health priorities in India towards the end of colonial rule—a decline that has yet to be reversed in modern-day India. The review also highlights features of the administrative, scientific and societal approaches to dealing with this disease in British India that persist to this day.
