Abstract

Globalization, Zoonoses, and the Rabies Paradigm

Wildlife is implicated in multiple viral zoonoses, including corono-, paramyxo-, filo-, and lyssaviruses, with recognition of the latter on all inhabited continents. As one of the oldest infectious diseases, rabies remains a model paradigm for pathogen emergence and a novel example of disease prevention and control in free-ranging wild animals.
